Before you effect this fix though, be *REALLY* sure if you want to do it.
We have a musical doorbell that used to have this trouble before I got fed up
and fixed it. Trouble is, after a decade or so, I'm *REALLY* sick of the
tunes. I curse the day I fixed it, every day.
This also might be the case with wireless doorbells too.
shortly after installing a musical doorbell I installed a reed switch
on the door to shut it up when you open the door.

Ah! good, John.
the benefit I have, is when you manually press the bell
it just goes "ding dong" or two sounds.

If it is tripped, it sings merrily, like those old mantle timepieces that
chime out the hour.
I woudn't arise from my flight pod in front of the computer screen
figuring if someone wants me they would ring again.

I'll change the channel on the morrow.

My sister did that on hers, and that fixed it. She was getting 3 or so
a day, and reached the point where she got creeped out by it.
Do you have wireless peripherals on your computer?
 
G'day Ian,
not peripherals, as such
we host international students, so we have a wireless router
that services 3 rooms 5 computers.

What about wireless mouse?

Mine cases all manner of mischief with other wireless devices!

Please follow accepted convention and *not* top post - it makes the thread
difficult to follow.

I installed a battery operated wireless door chime.
Button next to front door
bell in the kitchen. (18 feet approx)

The thing will not shut up, no matter where I place it,
it rings about 5-6 times a day, randomly.

Any advice other than committing it to the garbage?
Looked up Seńor Ding-Dong in the Yellow Pages?
 
I am sure this is not your problem but when I had Foxtel installed at my
home the techo wired the foxtel box to the door chime cable instead of the
telephone line!!!

Original installer couldn't find the problem so they had to send another
techo.

LOL... but I'm not all that surprised to be honest.

I've seen several Austar/Foxtel installations that can only be described
as abysmal.
