Constraint n°087

The Musical Doorbell

Replace your doorbell with a tune you hum yourself.

Record yourself humming or singing a short melody. Use it as your doorbell. Keep it for a month.

Instructions

  1. Choose a short melody. Something personal, not a known song.
  2. Record yourself humming or singing it. Keep it raw, don't polish it.
  3. Replace your doorbell with this recording. Or play it manually when someone rings.
  4. Keep it for a month. Note the reactions of visitors.
  5. After a month, write about what this changed in the way you welcome people.

Variants

Ask a different person to sing your doorbell each week. Four weeks, four voices.

Instead of a melody, use a sound from your house. A door creak, a kettle whistle.
