Doorbell sounds are among the oldest and most reused effects in online video because the two-tone chime is understood instantly across languages and cultures, with no explanation needed. On soundboards and in editing libraries they sit alongside door knocking and other household noises that creators use to set a scene in seconds, from sitcom-style entrances to prank setups where an unexpected visitor changes the mood. Their staying power comes from that familiarity: the sound promises someone is on the other side of the door, so it works in a short comedy sketch as in a longer vlog or stream highlight.
