The Ring Video Doorbell is a great way to Change Ring Doorbell Sound. It also lets you keep an eye on what’s going on in front of your house. But if your coworkers, family, or friends also have a Ring Video Doorbell, it can be hard to tell which one is which when you’re out and about because all Ring devices make the same ringtones or alert sounds by default. You might be looking for your phone only to find that it’s someone else’s Ring that’s going off.
There’s a solution, though: you can change the tone or music that your Ring notifications play, whether that’s on your phone or a Chime you have set up at home. This is how.
Steps to change the Ring doorbell chime
- From the dashboard, tap the Menu (triple-line) icon in the upper left.
- Tap Devices, then the name of your Chime speaker.
- Choose Audio Settings, then Chime Tones.
- Pick the sound you want to use, such as one of Ring’s holiday tones.
- Repeat the process for each Chime in your home.
How to change notification sound on Ring app

What Is Ring Chime?
A Ring Chime is just a wireless device for sending alerts. Ring Chime is a device that works with Ring’s security cameras and video doorbells. It has a speaker built in so that you can always hear what’s going on, no matter where you are in your house.
Once you connect your Ring Chime to a security camera or doorbell, it will play a pre-set tone when someone presses one of your Ring doorbells or when your security camera or doorbell detects motion.
Why Change It?
It might not seem important, but have you ever changed the sound your phone makes when it rings? If not, do you really have the right to judge those who have? Most likely not, since you’re used to hearing people change the sounds on their phones. Well, why stop with smartphones? Why would someone not want to change the sound of their doorbell?
In the first place, the doorbell sound will come from your phone. Ring Doorbell is all about getting the doorbell chime on your phone, no matter where you are. In this case, you might want a sound that is easy to identify. After all, a visit is always better than a letter or phone call. You’ll want that to come through in your Ring chime.
