My door bell just rang...

    So what you ask... Read on.

    Moved into a new house about 2 weeks ago, happy out and love it, whatever. So few minutes ago I was heading up to bed, turned off the hall light and got about 2-3 steps up and I hear this music, I look back to see where it was coming from and it's coming from the doorbell speaker on the wall. Here is the weird part, while a have a doorbell speaker, I don't have a doorbell, the entire front casing on it including the button was ripped off before I moved in, now all that's left is motherboard type thing and a few wires.

    Now I am not the the type to scare easily but my heart started racing when I realised what it was. So can anyone explain how a doorbell speaker with no actual doorbell can make noise?

    It's possible the wires in the speaker are picking up radio waves from some local source...

    That or it's haunted

    Stay safe OP

    This reminds me of a similar thing that happened to a friend of mine. It turns out the house was possessed & he ripped off his own ears in terror.

    I know a so called electrician that can make something like that happen quite easily.

    Wireless doorbell? Or wires are loose by the door and make contact every now and then

    Clearly a poltergeist.

    Sleep well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 341 ✭✭Hownowcow


    The doorbell, as you refer to it, is just a switch. The wires have crossed and are setting off the speaker.

    Do you have a door?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    It might be something simple, like a giant rat gnawing on the circuit board.

    It's most likely radio waves interference, usually it's 2FM buzzing away in the background or in some cases the emergency services....

    You can usually always hear it in a quiet room with a bad guitar amp powered on.....

    So who was at the door then?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Here's some light music to cheer you up:)

    So who was at the door then?

    Radio waves, a haunting thing, a possessed, a bloke with no ears, a so called electrician, a wireless, a poltergeist, a giant rat, a funeral, Jehovah Witness ghouls, Senor Ding Dong, 2FM, Eurgh, the ghost of Gerry Ryan and the previous tenants.

    Keep up.

    *If there really is a door.

    Reminds me of a brilliant post here a while ago. Somebody drifting off to sleep listening to the radio when a voice boomed out in the room 'I'm outside the house'. Interference from a taxi company, ughh heart attack inducing. I've heard baby monitors are magnets for interference too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 101 ✭✭scoobydoobie


    Has the house been rePOSSESSED.

    I was once privy to a wonderful phone conversation that came in over my baby monitor that consisted of some poor exasperated woman explaining to her friend on the phone how her baby wouldn't stop (and I quote) "chewing the nipples off her" while she was feeding!

    Weird and wonderful things...
