Why Your Ring Doorbell Sound Matters More Than You Think
Your Ring Doorbell sound is the first welcome (or warning!) anyone gets. It’s more than just a notification; it’s an integral part of your home security system.
Think about it: a distinct chime tone can immediately let you know if it’s a guest at the door or a motion detection event. Customizing your Ring Doorbell sound means you can differentiate between a general alert and the specific sound when someone rings the doorbell.
Getting Started: Accessing Your Ring Doorbell Sound Options in the Ring App
Ready to change your Ring Doorbell sound? The journey begins when you open the Ring app. This powerful application is your command center for all Ring devices, including your Ring Video Doorbell and Ring Chime.
First, make sure your Ring app is updated. Once you open the Ring app, tap on the specific Ring Doorbell or Ring Chime device you wish to customize from your dashboard. This is where you’ll find the audio settings to begin tailoring your alert tones.
From there, you’ll typically navigate to ‘Device Settings’, then look for options related to ‘Alert Settings’ or ‘Chime Tones’.
The intuitive interface makes it easy to select chime sounds you prefer. You’ll soon discover a variety of tones available, allowing you to change the doorbell sound to something that truly resonates with you.

Exploring the Symphony of Sounds: Choosing the Perfect Chime Tone
Now for the fun part: selecting your new doorbell sound! Ring offers a delightful variety of tones, from classic doorbell chime sounds to more whimsical or seasonal options.
You can set different sounds for different events if your device supports it.
When you tap audio settings in the Ring app for your Ring Chime or Ring Video Doorbell, you’ll be presented with a list of available chime sounds.
Take your time to preview each chime tone; what sounds good in theory might be different when you actually hear alerts.
Consider a loud and clear sound if you have a larger home or if you want to change the notification to be more attention-grabbing when someone rings your doorbell.
Remember, the goal is to pick a doorbell ring that you’ll recognize instantly.
Some customers find the doorbell sounds particularly helpful for distinguishing between front door activity and other Ring camera notifications. Whether it’s a traditional “ding-dong” or a festive jingle, the power to change the sound is yours.
Beyond the Doorbell: Customizing Alerts for Your Ring Chime and Ring Chime Pro
Your Ring Chime or Ring Chime Pro is a fantastic companion to your Ring Video Doorbell, extending alert notifications throughout your home so you never miss a visitor. Just like your doorbell, you can also change the sound on your Ring Chime device.
The process is very similar: open the Ring app, select your Chime or Chime Pro from the list of Ring devices, and dive into its specific audio settings or chime alerts section.
Here, you can select a unique chime tone for when someone presses the doorbell button, and often, a different one for motion alerts if you have Ring doorbells and cameras linked. The Ring Chime Pro also helps extend your Wi-Fi signal to your Ring cameras and doorbells, making it a dual-purpose powerhouse.
Adjusting the chime volume on these devices is also crucial to ensure the alert is just right for your environment.

Troubleshooting: What If I Can’t Change My Ring Doorbell Sound?
Occasionally, users in the Ring community report they can’t change their Ring Doorbell sound or chime tone.

Sometimes, simply navigating to tap on devices within the open the Ring app, selecting your doorbell, and re-saving the audio settings can refresh the connection and apply the desired chime sound. If you’re still having trouble, the Ring support website is an excellent resource, or you can reach out to their customer service.

Maximizing Your Ring Experience: Tips for Advanced Motion Detection and Sound Options
Beyond the basic chime tone, your Ring Video Doorbell offers sophisticated features like advanced motion detection and various sound options to enhance your security and convenience.
When you open the Ring app and explore your device settings, look for motion settings. Here, you can customize motion zones, sensitivity, and even set schedules so you only receive motion alerts when you need them.
This helps reduce unwanted notifications while ensuring you’re alerted to genuine activity.
Regarding sound options, some Ring doorbells and cameras, like the Ring Battery Doorbell Plus or Doorbell Pro, offer better video quality and improved audio settings, including features like two-way talk with noise cancellation.
Customers appreciate the sound quality of these premium devices. Regularly check the Ring app for new features or ring sounds, as Ring often updates its offerings based on Ring community feedback. You might even find options to temporarily snooze alerts if you’re expecting company or don’t want to be disturbed.
The ability to change the tone for both doorbell ring events and motion is detected events gives you fine-grained control over how you’re notified.
So, when someone presses the doorbell button, or movement is picked up, you’ll know when someone is there, with an alert that’s just right for you – loud and clear, or subtle and informative. It’s all about making your Ring Doorbell sound work for your lifestyle.
