ᐅ Buying a doorbell chime without testing it first?

Seemingly a simple topic – the doorbell.

But somehow not really.
We already have the push button. Now we just need the right chime and a matching transformer.

How did you choose the chime?
At the hardware store, there are about 10 different ones, but only around 3 work with our system, and so far, I haven’t found any way online to listen to the sound before buying.

Did you just buy it “blind” or without hearing it first?

Most of the ones online are rated around 75 dB.
Some say that’s loud enough for an apartment, others say it’s too quiet for a house. What volume level did you go for?

And how often does that happen in a day...

In households with many children, more often than one would like.

...also during rainy deliveries. We have the BigBen; additionally, all phones/handsets ring as well. It is also necessary for us.
