  Hello, I have a Chime Pro. Whilst there are a few options for different chime tones, it would be great to have a custom tone option, so that I could add any short sound file to be triggered when my ring is pressed or motion detected. Thank you, Ryan

  Custom chime for all devices would be great.

  I completely agree. This shouldn't be too hard to add as an update either. When will this come out?

  Totally agree! It obviously can be done because of the Halloween chimes that are put out there - please add!!

  The current Entry/Exit delay sound is too bass/mid-tone reliant. Even at the highest volumes, we have trouble hearing it (with a keypad 3 feet away) when we're walking into the house...especially with a loud kid. It would be great if there were sound options (like you have with the chirps) for the entry/exit delay tone. I'd even prefer hearing the Navi chirp on repeat for entry/exit delay since it is so distinct sounding. Just anything with a bit of treble in it to attract attention.

  We have moved over from SimpliSafe and couldn't agree more. I think this is our biggest gripe so far with the systems. We need more tone options for entry/exit. The default options suck, to be honest.

  Agreed and endorsed - this is precisely the same thing I'm reporting and asking for help solving here: [https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Keypad-Gen-2-how-to-increase-volume-of-alarm-speech-tones/m-p/38308#M4058](https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Alarm/Keypad-Gen-2-how-to-increase-volume-of-alarm-speech-tones/m-p/38308#M4058)

  Please could you add the functionality to set different chime ringtones for each doorbell and indeed camera active at a property, so that users can tell where around their property motion has been detected or doorbells pressed based on the ringtones alone. The ability to set custom ringtones, e.g. a snippet of music or upload a recording would also be useful.

  Even the most basic doorbell had a Ding Dong for the front doorbell and a Ding for the rear doorbell. And this would be a simple feature to add. Yes, the doorbell will need to tell the Chime which doorbell had the activity - ring or motion - but it is likely already sending this information. And yes, there may be a memory limitation - even the smallest of memory would probably handle 10-15 doorbells - many more than the average home.

  My old "legacy" system used to tell me "kitchen door open", "basement door closed", etc. I asked about this a long time ago and am having trouble finding if this feature will ever be added. I was told 2 years ago when I installed mine that this was a heavily-requested feature. Anyone know if there has been any update? Using that dome siren speaker would be great! I have to look at my watch or phone to see which sensors were tripped, but I would love the ability to audibly notify me when certain sensors are tripped. The timer/delay reminder on "opened" sensors would be GREAT as well... Thanks, and sorry if this has been posted, I searched, but did not see it anywhere...

  I have been able to implement this in Alexa Routines by triggering off the Ring Alarm sensor for a door and thgen making my Echo device speak the message

  it would be great if the Ring alarm had voice announcements such as "front door open" from the keypad and base station like other alarm systems do. This would be useful to know which door or window was opened especially if its an unwanted entry.

  I think this is a key function that is needed. One of the uses of an alarm system for me is knowing if a child opens contact sensor like a door or window. While I currently use Alexa devices to do this with Routines I'd like the base to speak the name of the open sensor as well as the audible alert from a push notification.

  Initially I wanted voice announcements, but in reality, how many doors does a house have? I have my front door to use "ding dong", garage entry to "harp" and backyard doors to "wind chimes". Now I can tell which door is being used. Windows don't count because sensors hardly ever/never trigger.

  I agree with you Sam4007. Might I add that having that audio announcementmade at the time you're attempting to arm the system before you leave. The system can use the name you gave for each contact sensor so you immediately know which window or door you need to close.

  I use a $30 Amazon Echo dot gen3 to announce for each door when it's opened so it will say "Front door opened" or whatever other sensor I have setup custom for each name. This way I know what opened without having to grab my phone and look. Taking that a step further, If you place one or more Echo devices around your home and enable Alexa's GUARD feature these will listen for glass breakage and other strange noises when your RING is set to AWAY mode and the Alexa app will alert you on your phone and allow you to listen to the noise that Alexa detected the you can decide to take action or not. You can even have the GUARD mode play the sound of dogs barking, control lighting after a sound is detected as well! Not too shabby for $30! Plus you get Alexa as well. For me worth every penny to add extra security to my home.

  I agree with [@Sam4007](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/58575) , [@Martechguru](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/64936) and [@Kalihiboy](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/75027) . for the need a several voice announcements tailored, to different doors . . . or for other different sensors too. But I have a variation on Sam4007's Feature Request: Instead of having Ring pick the additional voice announcements (or Alert/Chirp sounds) for us, would it be possible to add a new Alert/Chirp sound selection, called "Custom" . . . and then also provide a method for the user to "Import" a sound file into this Custom slot on each device/sensor/doorbell? Different 'Sound Files' can obtained off the Internet. And you could even make your own sound voice-recording file too! You could then Import tailored voice-recordings, such as: "Someone is Ringing your Backdoor Doorbell", or "Motion in your Living-room", or "Your Side Door is open", or "Motion at your Backyard Cam." I bet some people wound make some funny voice-recordings, like "Welcome Home Your Highness" for your door sensor chirp. The point is, having an added new 'Custom' feature could provide endless Alert/Chirp choices! Although [@Zatt001](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/50042) has a nice workaround utilizing the Amazon Echo that can provide this ability, I would prefer a "Custom" Alert/Chirp selection listed right along with the other choices of 'Windchimes, Harp, etc.', all in the Ring App. Additionally, I'm resistant to having an Echo in my house, because the idea of something listening to everything in my house I still find a bit too creepy for me (I've disabled "Listening" abilities of my other high-tech devices in my house). [@Teethdood](https://community.ring.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/74372) you can see that it is not distinctive Chirps for just doors, but also having the audible ability to know which Door, and which DoorBell, Motion Detector, Contact Sensor, and Video Camera too. Now, if you think this "Custom" Alert/Chirp option (with Import capability) would be nice to have, click on link below and click the Thumbs Up Icon. Ring Teams notice Feature Requests with higher Thumbs Up numbers, and then are more likely to incorporate the Feature Request. There are quite a few similar posts requesting either wanting larger Alert/Chirps selections, or more Voice announcements. Hopefully this "Custom" option would meet everyone's needs. :) [https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Custom-Alerts-Chirp-Sounds-selections/idi-p/49415](https://community.ring.com/t5/Feature-Request-Board/Custom-Alerts-Chirp-Sounds-selections/idi-p/49415)
