How about a steam radio? Don't they ever have doorbells in radio drama -
or
even in soaps, like the Archers?

Steam? there's posh.

Ours run on crystals :-)

We have wall-to-wall Radio4/World Service 24/7 but I can't remember hearing
door bells even on the Archers. Spouse is always confused when he hears a
telephone on radio and rushes to the nearest handset (one in every room)
whereas I always know that it's broadcast. The phones are nowhere near the
radios and the noise is directional. No wrap-round sound for us :-) Come to
that, there are no radios near the front or back doors either.
