None of these delivery people ring doorbells anymore. It’ll just sit there unless I get the email with the picture of it on my doorstep.

I wish they didn't, our doorbell sucks and it freaks the cats out every time they ring it.

Have you tried disconnecting it? Or messing with it to dampen the sound? I think I used a paper clip on one once.

I'm pretty sure I'd epectrocute myself if I did that.

Doorbells are the simplest electronic component known to man (literally just a button). You can totally unscrew it and disconnect it inside

I think they run on super low voltage. Take the external plastic casing off, should reveal a bell. Maybe put a piece of masking tape on the bell. That should muffle the sound and maybe not scare the kitties. I did something similar at my last place, but I clipped something like a paper clip or a binder clip to the bell.
