Why is the doorbell usually set to "Ding Dong" instead of other sounds? Such as "creak" and "buckle"

The question you asked is very interesting, and there are similar questions. Why did the telephone ring "Ding"? Why do digital cameras have a "click" shutter sound? Wait a minute.

It's a long story. From the development of doorbell, telephone and camera, they were all invented in the last century. At that time, electronic technology was underdeveloped, and the earliest development was mechanical technology. Doorbells and telephones are all made by metal hammers hitting metal plates (or metal clocks). Due to technical limitations, they can only hear monotonous ringtones, such as "Ding Dong" and "Ding". The mechanical shutter of the camera will make a mechanical click when taking pictures.

Today, electronic technology has replaced mechanical technology in many places, including the doorbell, telephone and camera. I can't see the mechanical doorbell and telephone anymore, and they all went into the history museum. Digital cameras are also replacing traditional mechanical cameras.

But many people are still nostalgic, people's habits are so difficult to change, and they still like the traditional "ding-dong" sound. Therefore, among many beautiful musical ringtones, the traditional ringtones are still preserved. Have you noticed that some people around you set their ringtones to the traditional ringtone of Ding? Modern mobile phones emit traditional sounds and have a different taste.

As for the "click" sound of digital camera shutter, if it works, it only plays a role of prompting, and it is entirely possible to use the sound of "di" and "du". Why do you want to simulate "click"? Just to take care of traditional habits.

Speaking of which, do you understand?
