It's a doorbellghost. Get out the house NOW.

Is that helpful?

I used to have a doorbell like this and the same problem.
It would go off if the oven was on it would go off if I used the hairdryer it would go off whenever it wanted just for heck of it.
The problem was easy to solve.

I put it in the bin

OOH cod go put in the bin! not yours take it to a bin on the street farrrrrr awayyyyy!

bury it under your lawn, it will scare the moles away.

My mate takes great delight in setting off our next door neighbour's doorbell when she locks her car. We used to think they were nosy neighbours when they came to the door whenever she visited us. Now we know it's her car alarm and my how we do laugh as she runs up the path and leaps in the porch before locking her car so we can all lean over and watch them open their door.

sick.

Ours went "ding" in the middle of the night a little while back, no "dong". Then a loud buzzing indoors. This was three in the morning. DH went out although I told him not to as I was Sh** scared, and rang it and it stopped. It could happen again any night. I'm living in fear. Prob short circuit, so I'm told.

My aunt's doorbell makes various dings and dongs according to the weather conditions. If it's damp it ding dings if it's windy it dong de dongs.

If the bell goes, she quickly checks the weather report before going to the door

My parents had, for years a very old doorbell. I think they got it in the 50s. It had a very unusual and distinctive ding-dong.
Eventually it was replaced, it had served them well for almost 40 years afterall.
It was replaced with a new fangled chiming doorbell.
Many years passed and we were all sitting in the room when the doorbell went....yup you've guessed it - it was the old 50s doorbell sound and of course no one was outside at the door....

DING DONG Cod !!!

Anymore news on the doorbell saga?

You mad fish. Ours used to do this. It goes "ding dong" (classic, understated, elegant) and then odd times it would start doing the bl**dy Big Ben chimes (tasteless, Hyacinth Bouquet, embarrassing). Dh did that annoying man thing of - not having heard it himself - telling me I couldn't have heard it (aural hallucination, spending too much time with small children, obviously unhinged). Then it did it when he was in and he started spouting on about wireless radio waves or somesuch.

Never occured to me I might have a haunted doorbell!

probably a loose connection. ours did this when we lived in the flat. really freaked me out. unplug it and get an electrician in. x x

It's threads like this that get me through my endlessly boring days at work!!! Hope the doorbell's behaving itself...!

Phantom doorbell ringing can be set off by things like baby monitors, remote controls etc. Our neigbour's tv turns itself on sometimes and my dd had a spell when she set off the alarms in Boots whenever she entered their shops!

oh ffs cod stop being such a big wuss. What do you think, that a ghost is ringing your doorbell

Haven't read all of thread but if it's a wireless doorbell, then it's receiving interference from another wireless apparatus within range. Could be in your house or another house. Try and change the wavebands it transmits/receives on. Or just ignore the "wrong" chime.
