Electric door bell chime

Good morning all

Is it possible to purchase a half decent electric door bell chime out here.

Our home has door bell ringers upstairs and downstairs (for the servants, of course).

My complaint is the bell ringers are meant to sound like a bird shrilly tweeting. However, they sound like a very loud panic alarm going off and are truly horrendous. I need to change the two ringers to something that sounds a little more calming.

TIA

A friends house had something that sounded like Big Ben and I know she bought it here but can't help you where, but obviously they are around. Ours sounds like "Avon calling" , but don't know where electricians bought it.

Happy to look there Keith. Thank you.

It will have to be try before l buy.

The ones we have fitted are surely made in China - or North Korea.

We bought a good ''normal'' doorbell at Elektrokur. Previously there was a budgie tweeting thing!
