Question About Doorbell Acting Up

[Big Matt]

I have a wired doorbell that includes a speaker to amplify the chime. For about the last 10 days the speaker continues to emit a popping sound every 15 seconds. I've looked at all of the wires and they appear to connect properly. It isn't a problem with the button.

Any electricians out there who have seen something like this?

If its hardwired, remove the door bell push button and see what happens. Then cross the wires to make contact and hear if your bell rings. There has to be a short some where.

Did that already. It isn't the button. The chime works fine. The popping only happens when the button isn't pushed.

Check the below forum Matt. I've used the forum many times and got great info from the pros over there.

I think it is Casper fooling with you.

Our wireless doorbell rings when my daughter's dog barks...lol. Luckily, he only visits us.

Fixed it. It was the button after all.

Fixed it. It was the button after all.

I was hoping to hear how what ever it was (we now know it was the button) caused a sound at a set interval.

Was the button just shorted out or couldn't you tell?
