My Chime is too soft.

I know about the volume slider, it is full up. I have the normal chime, not the pro. It is working fine, I can change ring tones and turn it down. But I selected the most cutting ring tone I could find and have the slider on full, it's still _ **way too soft** _.I used to have it in the hallway, about 5 ft from the (thin and normlly closed) door to the living room and we can hardly hear it at the other side...So I have it in the livingroom now, which means it can't be heard in the rest of the house. It's at below conversation level. And no, we don't shout at eachother, we converse very reasonably.And I read here that some think it's too loud. I can't imagine...Anything I can do?
