Introduction: Why Customize Your Eufy Doorbell Sound?

Your front door is the first point of contact for visitors, deliveries, and unexpected guests. That’s why your doorbell sound matters. A clear, pleasant chime can make your home feel welcoming, while a loud or outdated tone might be jarring or easy to miss. If you’ve recently installed a Eufy doorbell or have been using one for a while, you might be wondering: Can I change the sound? The good news is—yes, you absolutely can!

Eufy doorbells, including popular models like the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K, Eufy Doorbell Dual, and Eufy SmartWire Doorbell, come with customizable audio settings. Whether you want a softer tone for nighttime, a louder chime for a large home, or just something more modern than the default beep, Eufy gives you control. And the best part? It’s all done through the Eufy Security app—no tools, no rewiring, just a few taps on your phone.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to change Eufy doorbell sound step by step. You’ll learn how to access sound settings, choose from different chime tones, adjust volume levels, and even sync your doorbell with an indoor chime. We’ll also cover troubleshooting tips and answer common questions so you can get the perfect sound for your home.

By the end of this guide, you’ll be able to personalize your doorbell experience and ensure you never miss a visitor again.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

Before diving into the steps, make sure you have the following ready:

• A compatible Eufy doorbell: Most Eufy video doorbells support sound customization, including wired and battery-powered models.
• The Eufy Security app installed: Available for free on iOS and Android. Make sure it’s updated to the latest version.
• Your smartphone or tablet: You’ll use this to access the app and make changes.
• Stable Wi-Fi connection: Your doorbell needs to be connected to Wi-Fi for app-based settings to sync.
• Your Eufy account login: Ensure you’re logged in with the same account used during setup.

If you’re using an indoor chime (like the Eufy Indoor Chime or Chime Pro), make sure it’s also connected and updated. We’ll cover chime-specific settings later.

Step 1: Open the Eufy Security App

The Eufy Security app is your control center for all Eufy smart home devices, including your doorbell. It’s where you’ll manage notifications, view live video, and—most importantly—adjust your doorbell sound.

How to Access the App

1. Unlock your smartphone or tablet.
2. Locate and tap the Eufy Security app icon. It’s usually blue with a white “E” logo.
3. If prompted, enter your login credentials (email and password).
4. Wait for the app to load your device dashboard.

Once you’re in, you should see a list of your connected devices. Look for your doorbell—it might be labeled “Doorbell,” “Front Door,” or a custom name you gave it during setup.

Tip: Keep the App Updated

Eufy frequently releases app updates that include new features, bug fixes, and improved sound options. To ensure you have access to the latest chime tones and settings, go to your device’s app store (Google Play or App Store), search for “Eufy Security,” and tap “Update” if available.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Doorbell Settings

Now that you’re in the app, it’s time to find the sound settings. Here’s how:

Locate Your Doorbell Device

1. On the home screen, tap the Devices tab at the bottom (usually represented by an icon with squares).
2. Scroll through your list of devices until you find your doorbell.
3. Tap on the doorbell name or image to open its control panel.

You’ll now see options like “Live View,” “Recordings,” “Motion Detection,” and “Settings.” We want to go into the settings.

Access the Settings Menu

1. Tap the Settings icon—usually a gear or three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
2. Scroll down until you find a section labeled Chime, Audio, or Doorbell Sound. The exact wording may vary slightly depending on your model.

If you don’t see it right away, don’t worry. Some models group sound settings under “Device Settings” or “Advanced Settings.” Take a moment to explore the menu.

Example: Eufy Video Doorbell 2K

On the Eufy Video Doorbell 2K, the path is:
Devices > Doorbell > Settings > Chime Settings

Here, you’ll find options for chime tone, volume, and repeat settings.

Step 3: Choose a New Chime Tone

This is where the fun begins! Eufy offers a variety of built-in chime sounds to suit different tastes and home environments.

Available Chime Options

Depending on your model, you may see options like:

• Classic Ding-Dong: A traditional two-tone chime, familiar and clear.
• Modern Beep: A short, electronic tone—great for minimalist homes.
• Melodic Chime: A multi-note tune that’s pleasant and hard to ignore.
• Soft Chime: A quieter, gentler tone—ideal for nighttime or apartments.
• Custom Chime (on select models): Some newer Eufy doorbells allow you to upload your own sound file (more on this later).

How to Select a New Sound

1. In the Chime Settings menu, tap Chime Tone or Sound.
2. A list of available tones will appear. Tap on one to preview it.
3. Listen to the sound through your phone’s speaker. (Note: This is a preview—your doorbell will play the actual sound when someone rings it.)
4. Once you find a tone you like, tap Save or Apply.

Pro Tip: Match Your Home’s Vibe

Think about your home’s style and environment:

• Modern homes: Try the “Modern Beep” or “Melodic Chime” for a sleek feel.
• Family homes: The “Classic Ding-Dong” is familiar and easy for kids to recognize.
• Apartments or shared walls: Use the “Soft Chime” to avoid disturbing neighbors.
• Large homes: Choose a louder, more distinct tone so you can hear it from the back yard or basement.

Step 4: Adjust the Volume Level

Even the best chime tone won’t help if it’s too quiet to hear. Eufy lets you adjust the volume to suit your needs.

Why Volume Matters

• Quiet homes: You might prefer a softer volume to avoid startling pets or babies.
• Noisy environments: If you have loud appliances, pets, or live on a busy street, a higher volume ensures you don’t miss the doorbell.
• Hearing impairments: Increasing volume can make the doorbell more accessible for family members with hearing challenges.

How to Change the Volume

1. In the Chime Settings menu, look for Volume or Chime Volume.
2. You’ll usually see a slider or percentage scale (e.g., 0% to 100%).
3. Drag the slider to your preferred level. Start at 50% and adjust up or down.
4. Tap Save to apply the change.

Testing the Volume

After adjusting, it’s a good idea to test the volume:

1. Ask someone to ring the doorbell (or simulate a press using the app’s “Test Chime” feature if available).
2. Walk around your home to see if you can hear it clearly in different rooms.
3. If it’s too quiet, go back and increase the volume. If it’s too loud, dial it down.

Note on Battery vs. Wired Models

Battery-powered Eufy doorbells may have slightly lower maximum volume than wired models due to power limitations. If you find the volume too low, consider switching to a wired model or adding an indoor chime (see next section).

Step 5: Sync with an Indoor Chime (Optional)

If you have a Eufy Indoor Chime or Chime Pro, you can enhance your doorbell experience by syncing it with your doorbell. This is especially useful in larger homes where the doorbell sound might not carry to every room.

What Is an Indoor Chime?

An indoor chime is a small speaker that plugs into a wall outlet inside your home. When someone rings the doorbell, the chime plays the selected sound, giving you a second alert inside.

How to Set Up the Chime

1. Plug the indoor chime into an outlet near where you want to hear the sound (e.g., kitchen, living room).
2. Open the Eufy Security app.
3. Go to Devices > Add Device > Chime.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair the chime with your doorbell.

Once paired, the chime will automatically play when the doorbell is pressed.

Customize the Chime Sound

You can set the indoor chime to play the same sound as your doorbell or choose a different one:

1. Go to Devices > tap your indoor chime.
2. Tap Settings > Chime Tone.
3. Select a tone and volume level just like you did for the doorbell.
4. Save your changes.

Pro Tip: Use Different Tones for Different Zones

If you have multiple chimes in different rooms, assign unique tones so you know where the sound is coming from. For example:

• Kitchen chime: “Melodic Chime”
• Living room chime: “Classic Ding-Dong”
• Bedroom chime: “Soft Chime”

This way, you can tell at a glance which area needs attention.

Step 6: Enable or Disable Chime Repeat

Some Eufy models allow you to set the chime to repeat after a few seconds. This is helpful if you tend to miss the first ring.

How to Set Repeat Chime

1. In the Chime Settings menu, look for Repeat Chime or Repeat Interval.
2. Toggle the feature on.
3. Choose the repeat interval (e.g., every 5, 10, or 15 seconds).
4. Save your settings.

Now, if you don’t respond to the first chime, it will play again after the set time.

When to Use Repeat Chime

• Busy households: If you’re often on calls or in meetings, the repeat ensures you don’t miss a delivery.
• Elderly users: A repeating chime gives more time to reach the door.
• Large properties: If it takes time to walk from one end of the house to the door, the repeat is a lifesaver.

Step 7: Test Your New Sound

After making changes, always test your new doorbell sound to ensure everything works as expected.

How to Test the Doorbell

1. Ask a family member or friend to press the doorbell button.
2. Listen for the new chime tone and volume.
3. Check if the indoor chime (if used) also plays correctly.
4. Walk to different areas of your home to confirm audibility.

Using the App to Simulate a Ring

Some Eufy models allow you to test the chime directly from the app:

1. Go to your doorbell’s control panel.
2. Look for a Test Chime or Play Sound button.
3. Tap it to hear the current chime through your phone or the doorbell speaker.

This is especially useful if no one is around to press the button.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even with the best setup, you might run into problems. Here’s how to fix the most common issues when changing your Eufy doorbell sound.

Issue 1: Sound Doesn’t Change After Saving

Possible Causes:

• The app didn’t sync with the doorbell.
• Wi-Fi connection is weak or unstable.
• The doorbell is in battery-saving mode.

Solutions:

1. Close and reopen the Eufy app.
2. Check your Wi-Fi signal at the doorbell location. Use a Wi-Fi extender if needed.
3. Ensure the doorbell is fully charged (for battery models).
4. Restart the doorbell by removing and reinserting the battery or turning off the power for 10 seconds.
5. Re-save the sound settings and wait a few minutes for the update to apply.

Issue 2: Chime Is Too Quiet

Possible Causes:

Solutions:

1. Increase the volume in the app.
2. Clean the doorbell speaker gently with a dry cloth.
3. Check that the indoor chime is plugged in and within range.
4. Move the chime to a central location or use multiple chimes.

Issue 3: Indoor Chime Doesn’t Play

Possible Causes:

• Chime volume is muted.

Solutions:

1. Re-pair the chime in the app.
2. Move the chime closer to your router or use a Wi-Fi extender.
3. Check the chime’s volume settings in the app.
4. Ensure the chime is not in “Do Not Disturb” mode (if supported).

Issue 4: App Crashes or Freezes

Possible Causes:

• Outdated app version.
• Phone storage is full.
• App permissions are disabled.

Solutions:

1. Update the Eufy Security app from the app store.
2. Clear app cache or reinstall the app.
3. Check that the app has permission to access microphone, storage, and notifications.
4. Restart your phone.

Advanced Tips for Customizing Your Doorbell Sound

Once you’ve mastered the basics, here are some advanced tips to get even more out of your Eufy doorbell.

Use Do Not Disturb Mode

If you want silence during certain hours (e.g., nighttime), use the Do Not Disturb feature:

1. Go to your doorbell settings.
2. Find Do Not Disturb or Quiet Hours.
3. Set a schedule (e.g., 10 PM to 7 AM).
4. The chime will be disabled during those hours, but notifications will still appear on your phone.

Enable Motion-Activated Chime

Some Eufy models let you play the chime when motion is detected—not just when the button is pressed:

1. Go to Motion Detection settings.
2. Enable Chime on Motion.
3. Adjust sensitivity to avoid false alerts from pets or passing cars.

Upload a Custom Chime (Premium Models)

On select Eufy doorbells (like the Doorbell Dual), you can upload your own sound file:

1. Prepare a short audio file (MP3 or WAV, under 5 seconds).
2. In the app, go to Chime Settings > Custom Chime.
3. Tap “Upload” and select your file.
4. Save and test.

Note: Custom chimes may not be supported on all models. Check your device’s compatibility in the app.
