Instead of settling for a doorbell with that irritating chime sound, you should definitely switch it up and order a Guitdoorbell! It’s just what it sounds like—a guitar mounted over the doorway with a plectrum striker attached to the swinging door.
When the door is opened or closed, the plectrum passes across the strings and plays a single chord. You won’t get a guitar solo out of it but it’s definitely a unique alternative to the regular tune we’ve been hearing for years.
