To be honest, we only want multiple phones because we can't hear them in
other rooms! The walls here are thick, solid granite, and modern phones
are not as loud as the traditional ringing phones most of us grew up
with.

real bells have lots of transients and a range of frequencies. Much
easier to hear and locate.
