It seems every time I go to the bathroom with a good book the phone rings or the door bell. Why? Whenever I’m in the tub or on the john it never fails.

neighbor’s door bell?He lives across the street from us. We have noticed that when someone rings his bell, it rings here also, everytime. We have a wireless dorrbell and have it programmed to a certain ring, (Star bangled Banner) but when my neighbor’s door bell is rung, it rings at our house but with a different ring. (Westminster chimes).
Answer by Bizor
He may also have a wireless door bell set on the same frequency as yours, and the range is enough to activate your bell.
You should probably change the frequency or buy a new bell.

When you knock on the door, it’s more of an impatient sound when heard from the other side of the door. When you ring the door bell, it’s more annoying because it sounds as if the person just wants people to know he/she is there.
Answer by CAB
because it sounds as if the person just wants people to know he/she is there.
Yes, that is its reason for existence.

Currently trying to teach my puppy to ring a bell hanging by the door, to alert us she needs to go out to potty. Only problem is she seems to be afraid of the bell. I am using a fog style bell (traditional) rather than a sleigh type bell. Which is a little louder. For those of you who have bell trained your puppies, is this typical at first? Will she just get passed it? What type of bell did you use? Surely, that shouldn’t matter, should it?
Answer by Ty B
Don’t use a bell

My puppy is crate trained. He does poop/pee in his crate but if I leave him on his leash tied to a door he will poop/pee in the house. I would like to bell train him. He is hitting the bell with his nose, but I am wondering should I walk him to the door on the leash or allow him to run to the door himself to give me the signal?
Answer by Anya D
if he’s still peeing/pooing in the house, then he’s not trained yet, right? so how will he know to run to the door to ring a bell? maybe i’m not understanding right, but if he isn’t trained, then take him via leash to the door and let him hit the bell. when he does, open the door and let him go out with the usual “tons of praise/treats” thing.

Mine does. As soon as he hears it he runs and hides! Even if the door bell sound comes from the TV! Also I noticed male cats are more jumpy and get scared more than female cats?
Answer by rednine
Yeah, she is. She jumps when ever anyone rings it or even knocks on the door. Mines a female though.

Bell & Ross Question&Answer:
I want to install/hard-wire a door bell. what is the order/sequence from the circuit breaker. What type of single pole breaker would I need (15, 20 amp)? Type of romex wire? Transformer next? Thanks in advance!
Answer by Stephen
I don’t think you want a separate circuit for just your door bell. If you have a junction box in your basement, you can add the transformer to that box, because the transformer will be mounted in the 1/2 inch knock out of the box. The transformer doesn’t draw anything until the button is pushed and the bell rings! Amperage an Romex not needed to be considered! Then run 2 conductor bell wire from the transformer, to the Door bell itself on the wall. Put both wires on the transformer connections, and one of those wires at the other end to the bell you want to ring. (Front door or back door chime). Run another 2 conductor wire from the door bell on the wall to the button outside. Put both wires on the button terminals, and one wire from the other end to the other terminal of the bell, and the other wire to the wire that wasn’t connected from the transformer. Put a small wire nut on that connection. You made a switch loop! Done!

I was told by my uncle that the light in our door bell button melted a hole through it. How does that happen? We bought a new button today. What is the likelihood that it could happen again?
Thanks!
Answer by smokey
it could happen.
