Doorbell Humming noise
The mechanical doorbell attached to my wired ring doorbell has started making a loud humming noise after 2 years. I have disconnected the trans and rear wires from the doorbell to stop the noise. But this stops the power to the ring doorbell as well. When I googled to check how to resolve the issue, I can across ring doorbell power kit 2. I didn’t have the ring power kit to fit in my existing mechanical doorbell. Is this required and will help the humming noise ? Another option seems to be to add some resistance between the trans and rear connections ? Can the diode which came with the ring doorbell be used as a resistor ? Please advise.

Same issue. After 2 years the doorbell quit working and a humming noise started. I tried using an iphone charger block with the ring orange charging cable to charge the Ring doorbell, since it wasn’t even powering up, after which there was a loud one time clicking noise and the iphone charger block quit working. Indicating a short within the Ring doorbell. So what’s the solution here?? Swap oit battery??

We have a similar issue here. In December, a loud buzzing came from the interior, hard-wired doorbell unit in the front hallway. We replaced the unit with a new doorbell chime unit. No change to the buzzing noise. Yesterday, we ended up disconnecting the Ring transformer (if that's the correct term), but of course, that also means the Ring doorbell ceases to function. The wires all look fine to us. What else can we do?

Thank you for your response. My ring doorbell 2 wired is installed, which was working fine for last 2+ years with the mechanical chime - Heath Zenith 90 BASE, which is in the compatible list. What can I do to stop the humming noise from the chime ?
