As part of a gut renovation of a three-story brownstone, I am installing a new doorbell system.

1/ Do I need a chime on each floor or will I be able to hear the doorbell from the third floor?

2/ I’m a little picky about the sound of the doorbell — looking for something very simple. A nice, natural “ding-dong” would be perfect. Where can I go to hear different products?

3/ Is it worth investing in an intercom system while the walls are open? Do you have one and find it useful?

Thank you for your advice.
