Nowadays, door bells are very common in every house.

Ding Dong Bell Sound Generator Circuit Principle:

This circuit mainly consists of two 555 timer ICs. First timer IC is operated in astable
mode and the frequency of the second is modulated by the first timer. For that, output
pin of first IC is connected to the 5th pin of second IC. The first timer IC is operated at a
frequency of 1Hz. Astable mode is a free running mode of the 555 timer IC. The 555
timer IC can be operated at required frequency by tuning the RC circuit. In astable
mode, no external triggering is required. This has no stable state.

Circuit Components:

 Two 555 timer ICs – U1 and U2.

 Two Variable resistors – RV1 and RV2
 4 Capacitors – C1, C2, C3 and C4.
 2 Resistors – R1and R2

How Ding Dong Sound Generator Circuit works?

 Initially power the circuit.

 The  “Ding Dong ” sound can be heard from the speaker.
 When the power is on the circuit is operated in the astable mode.
 As the voltage is applied to the timer, the capacitor starts charging through the
resistors R1 and R2.
 When it reaches 2/3 of VCC, it is detected by the sixth pin and seventh pin is
connected to the ground.
 Thus capacitor starts discharging, through the RV1 resistor.
 When voltage of 1/3 VCC is detected it again starts charging, thus this process
continuously produces the pulse of frequency 1Hz.
 This is applied to the second  timer through its control pin.
 Thus the frequency of the second timer is modulated and is applied to the
speaker through a capacitor.
 The external RC circuit decides the time delay with which the waveform should
be produced.
 Hence one can hear the “ding dong” sound produced.
