ADT Chime Sounds: How to Choose and Change Yours

The ADT Chime is a feature in ADT security systems that makes a sound when doors or windows are opened. This sound alerts you whenever someone enters or leaves your home, adding an extra layer of security and awareness. It’s especially useful in homes, shops, or offices to keep track of comings and goings.

We all get irritated when hearing the same sound every day. If you’re not a fan of the default ADT Chime Sound, there’s good news: you can change it.
