Are they physical chimes, or does it play an electronic sound?
If physical, maybe the solenoid is sticky and doesn't finish its chime cycle for a few seconds.
Or maybe the button itself is sticky
...the thing would play a full melody
Chimes are electronic.
The button is
not sticky.
The "full melody" is a two note "song".
Press and release the button, the chimes play a "ding doo" sound (E followed by C) repeated once for a total of four notes, a one second pause between the pair, the first "ding doo" starting about five seconds after the button is released.
If you press and hold the button, the chimes do not play, but [I think] the microphone is activated so the person pushing the bell can talk to the person inside. This is hard to test by myself, as the button is a good 60 or 70 feet away from the chime box in the house. I'll verify that when I have some help.
