Bell, but delivery drivers rap on the glass instead!

We have both but find most callers use both too. It feels very intrusive when you hear a loud knock and the bell at the same time. It makes me feel the caller could be aggressive. I know it's silly but that's just me.

A wifi bell that has a unit plugged in the hall and in the kitchen. People at the door can not hear the bell as there are two outside doors consequently we get several rings at a time, especially from delivery drivers.

A very loud bell so we can hear it even if in the garden.

We have a simple knocker and a bell.
Some people still knock on the glass panes.
Our house is nearly 120 years old and the glass has survived 2 world wars. I worry some heavy handed twit will knock vigorously and crack it, one day. (hrrmmph!)

We have a very loud doorbell which can be heard at the end of our garden, but most people still knock on the door which of course we can't hear! Fortunately we have a security box for parcels so we don't miss deliveries.

We have a bell, theres no knocker on the letterbox. A lot of people ignore the bell and bang on the door

Two bells - one at the front door and one at the back. (They have different sounds.) But like other GNs here, I find that often people ignore the (easily located) door-bells and just hammer on the doors.

I have a bell which also has an extension to it in the kitchen,
I get really annoyed when people knock on the glass panel of the door, because my house is back to front,living room at the back, and if the TV is on can't hear a knock, delivery drivers are the worst,
I say there is a BELL! please ring it, can't understand why they dont,
