We found their number reduced greatly after small but clear "No Cold
Caller" signs above letterbox and bell-push

10% of our callers use the bell push. The rest just knock.

Why do they do that? I can't here a knock on the door from my desk but
one of the doorbell chimes is just outside the room I work in.

As I have said upthread, when challenged, the only answer I have got is
"sometimes they don't work".

yep I got that as well

Problem is that still doesn't prove it's working, because you might not be
able to hear an indoor bell from outside

but in my case, I know that you/they can

It's similar to the way they test our fire alarms at about 8am when there's no one here to hear them. I think they got confused with trees falling in forests or something.
