Chime devices have low volume
I bought and had a Pro installed (plus garden camera/floodlight) but the chime box even at full volume is very low, it's not audible from any other room, and even missable if there's something going on like the TV. I bought a chime 2 and installed that upstairs but it's just as low. If you didn't have a phone or the app installed on a PC, you'd miss the ring altogether. Any suggestions on how to increase the internal chime boxes volume?

Chimepro is in living room not far from front & back doors. Volume is set to max. I've selected the loudest alert choice in audio settings. I cannot hear it ring if I am in bedrooms, especially if TV is on. My house is not huge. My hearing is fine. I expected the Chimepro to be much louder with volume set to max. As is, it's useless for me.

Yup, not nearly enough for an elderly person, who might be in another room with the TV on. The setup instructions for the doorbell implied it might work with "existing chimes". Not sure which brands that might be, but the volume on my old wired chime was just fine. I wish there was a way for my ring to just use it.

Try using a pair of foam ear plugs (used for hearing protection), and then try to hear either the first or second gen. chime accessory. Maybe then you will understand. Plain and simple - if you truly want to have these devices work for older folks - they need to be louder. Thx.
