Make the use the doorbells in audio/video advertising commercials illegal. Dog owners and parents of babies rejoice!

Created by J.P. on April 20, 2014

The use of the doorbell in advertising containing audio is extremely annoying as the door bell is an alarm of sorts. Pets mainly dogs react to this alarm and become excited. This can also be confusing for the animals in a "boy cries wolf" type of situations. The noise is also detectible by small children that wouldn't normally be awoken by TV conversation.

The door bell noise being used in advertising containing audio is the equivalent of someone honking a horn in front of your house dozens of times or day. It basically causes a commotion that disturbs the peace of the residence.
