Contact Sensor chirp on close?

The base station chirps when you open a window or door, but not when it closes again? Is this a setting I’m missing or a basic feature missing?

    Go to settings,devices, alarm base station, then the sensor you want to alter.

      If you mean these, those are app push alerts. With both those disabled, the base station makes an audio noise when you open the door/window, but not when you close it. ![CBB13287-9B19-48A9-92DD-7C991E9DDCC0.jpeg|1125x574](upload://dYRNkVu9Blq5qOwn8BcceuMFoFl.jpeg)

      Correct. Configured this way, the base station makes an audio when the door is opened only. If I enable either of those, I get a notification in the mobile app, but it does nothing to alter the behavior of the base station.

    I, too, would like to hear a chirp when a door or window is closed. I believe a double-chirp on open is how it should remain and a single-chirp should occur on close.

      We appreciate this feedback neighbors! At this time the audible chirp will sound for a contact sensor opening, but not for closing. As we value our neighbors' feedback, we've created a [Feature Request](https://community.ring.com/c/products/24) board. Feel free to add this and any future feature requests there. This will help us to organize and share your requests with our teams here, as well as allow other neighbors to comment and add interest, all in one place. Feel free to link that post you make in the Feature Request board here so other neighbors that come to this thread can easily find your feature. Thanks again for being the best part of the Community. :)

      Awesome, thanks! Our previous alarms did this, it's really handy to hear things open, but then also to close again as well. Any change in status :)

      Any update on this? I too think a closing chirp feature is a must as most all other alarm systems I've used have that feature. Without it I have no way of being sure my kid or whoever closed the door on the way in/out without stopping what I'm doing and walking over there, or grabbing my phone and checking the app every single time.

      Do you have a solution yet for this problem? I just migrated from an alarm system chirps both on opening and closing to the Ring system that only chirps on opening. I desperately need this system upgraded to chirp on opening and closing as againts the current system that cirps only on opening

    I agree with all the above comments.... This is a standard feature on alarms 10+ years old. This is a quick programming fix and it's something that clearly a lot of your customers are asking for. Add it!

      Has this been resolved? I also want this feature to be added.

        Agreed. Basic feature. May end up being a deciding factor in me returning the just purchased system. Seems so basic. If they can't get this right I wonder if the system provided value. Will look at competitors.
