For Whom the Bell Rings?

Dr. Dev (Fictional Name) rang the bell at his friend’s house. He was surprised when the bell rang loudly as it was just on the opposite side of the main door, although his friend’s bedroom was on the first floor.

After some time his friend came and opened the door and ushered Dr. Dev inside. A curious Dev asked his friend, ‘Why is the door-bell placed just near the main gate on the ground floor when you live most of the time on the first floor?’

The friend replied, ‘Initially I did place the door-bell on the first floor. The problem occurred that whenever someone rang the doorbell below they were not able to hear at the ground floor the sound of the bell ringing on the first floor. Confused whether the bell had rung or not they used to keep on repeatedly pressing the bell switch, disturbing the whole household and causing us irritation.’

‘So, we moved the doorbell near the main gate so that the person ringing the bell is able to hear the bell ring and get satisfied the bell had indeed rung and is not malfunctioning.’ explained his friend.

‘But what about you having difficulty in hearing the bell ring from below?’ enquired Dr. Dev.

‘We had installed a small low volume bell in parallel to the main bell below on the first floor to solve this problem’ revealed his friend.

Tip: Place the doorbell such that the person ringing the bell is able to hear it ring, to avoid repeated irritatingly ringing of the bell.

Tip: Install a smaller bell in parallel to the main bell if your room is away from the main bell.
