Everybody knocks

IMO I’d rather neither. Knocking scares the snot out of me and the doorbell makes me jump out of my skin. Thankfully I’ve got a doorbell camera, so most of our deliveries happen without some loud, intrusive sound.

Every delivery happens with a loud intrusive sound, mostly Fearn barking, we havve a knocker rathet than a door bell, one of those ring things is to much tech for me, lol.

Ah right, when you’ve got a dog every visitor is a massive intrusion lol. At the same time though, I’ve always felt a bit safer with a dog. Yeah the doorbell camera was a bit tricky for me to figure out, but once you’ve got it set up it basically runs itself.

Ours is the classic ding dong.  I prefer it to people rapping on the glass myself.

I agree ArchaeC, first off I'd have to have some sort of smart device for it and that's a no no.

Fearn is usually happy to greet visitors, she does have to tell them the house rules and has only ever not wanted to let two people in, one I didn't like so she was probably picking up on my hostility and another I think was scared of dogs.

Vortex what sound does your bell make? One of the things that annoys me about door bells is the noise.
