Homekit Doorbell Call Notification Sound Help

Apple needs to address Homekit Doorbell Call Notification Sounds ASAP.

Standard notification sounds are not sufficient for a doorbell call.

A doorbell call is equally important as a critical alert although a different sound would be great.

Additional options to adjust doorbell call notifications including silent and do not disturb modes would be the dream.

Native Apple Homekit doorbells such as the logitech circle view doorbell do not have a separte app and therefore solely rely on homekit notifications.

This is a real problem.

I completely agree that standard notification sounds are not sufficient for a doorbell call. A doorbell call is a distinct and important event that should be given a more prominent and recognizable sound to ensure it doesn't get missed.


Having additional options to adjust doorbell call notifications, including silent and do not disturb modes, would be a game-changer. It would allow users to tailor the notifications according to their preferences and avoid unnecessary disruptions.


It's especially problematic for native Apple HomeKit doorbells like the Logitech Circle View Doorbell that solely rely on HomeKit notifications. Apple should prioritize addressing this issue to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience for HomeKit users.


Improving the notification sounds for doorbell calls would not only enhance the functionality of HomeKit doorbells but also improve the overall user experience. It's an important aspect that Apple should take into consideration to meet the needs of their customers.


I fully support the suggestion of introducing a distinct sound specifically designed for doorbell calls. This would ensure that users can easily distinguish doorbell notifications from other regular alerts and promptly respond to visitors or deliveries.
