Ring Video Doorbell
2 Doorbells and 2 chimes same sounds
I purchased 2 ring2 doorbells and I put one on the front door with the other on the back door. I placed the chimes in two different locations. I'm trying to get the backdoor sounds the same on both chimes. And the front door sounds the same on both chimes. I'm not having any luck so far. I would like the chimes to let me know what door is ringing. Is this possible? Thank you Mark

That's sad that such an expensive devise is not able to have different sounds for different doors. Most of the old school doorbells had different sounds for the front and back. I fell like this is a step backward. Thank for the reply Mark

PI have same issue, so if I bought 2 chimes, and set front door on one and back door on the other ,that would solve the problem?

MWow, I’m trying to get a different sound onto each door and can’t believe this is not possible. Seriously Ring, I hope you add a setting where a different chime tone can be set for each door. I have two doorbells and 3 chimes throughout the house. Surely at this cost you can do this. Thanks

We just came across this same problem. We have 2 doorbells and 2 chimes, but cannot tell which doorbell is being pressed since the chime tones are identical. It's not a good option to require separate chimes since multiple chimes helps us hear the doorbell throughout the house

PHere is the solution I found: Don't use a Chime, Instead use an Echo speaker that is connected to the Ring with Alexa. It ca announce anything you want and by default it will announce "someone is at the front door" or "someone is at the back door". Works great, And they can be the same Echo speakers you use for music throughout the house. If music is playing it will be interrupted by the door announcement.

Ring — I’m with the other customers on this issue. Each door bell should have it’s own sound coming from a single chime. I have purchased three pro video door bells and they are all going back if there isn’t a work around for this. Please advise soonest. Disappointed in Bethesda.

+1 on the need for this feature. BTW the Feature Request Page linked above doesn't load. Anyone from Ring care to respond? It has been over a year since the first post on this thread so an update would be appreciated. Are you working on this or not?

CHi @Jason7. We don't have any updates to share on this specific request. We'll typically post about updates in the Ring Device Tips and How To's board, which you can find [here](https://community.ring.com/c/welcome-to-the-ring-community/ring-device-tips-and-how-tos/15). As for the Feature Request board, you can access it [here](https://community.ring.com/c/products/feature-request-board/24). The Community moved platforms in December, which is likely why the previous link doesn't work correctly. I hope this helps clear things up! :)

Great question @MarkB ! This would be best accomplished by simply dedicated one chime to one of the Doorbells, if you are wanting different sounds for each. Two devices connected to one Chime will have several options of alert tones for both motions and rings, however, this tone applies to both Doorbells. For example, a Front Doorbell cannot have wind chimes for motion alerts while the Back Doorbell has harp for motion alerts on the same chime. Of course, ring alert tones can be different from motion alert tones, but devices on a single Chime will share the chosen alert tone. I hope this helps! :)
