Do you have an intercom system? If so, an electronic chime can be
connected to sound through some or all of the speakers. If you have a
Nutone system they even make a module for this.

Another option is to use a high-quality wireless system such as those
made by Optex.

If you elect to go with the "upgrade the transformer route" look for
the VA rating of the transformer (typically 16 VA for small doorbell
transformers).

You will need to replace this with a similar transformer (at the same
output voltage) with a higher VA rating of 48 or so. You may need to
order this item through an electrical supply company, instead of the
local hardware store.

This higher VA rated bell transformers are typically used in apartment
buildings with the runs are longer and all the units are connected to
the same power supply.
