Multiple Chimes for Doorbell

Is there a way to install additional chimes (Roku or otherwise)?  I have a 2,500 sq ft house and even with centrally locating the Roku chime, it can’t be heard in the bedrooms. 
Roku tech support suggested installing a 2nd doorbell at another door 😩. I have 1 front door. That is where people come and ring the bell. This is quite a major issue; a doorbell that can’t be heard throughout the house is pretty much useless.

    Greetings, LoriC2!

    Welcome to the Roku Community! Thank you for posting about adding chimes to your Roku Smart Home Doorbell. We're happy to provide you assistance.

    Please note that it is only possible to use one chime per doorbell. Additional chimes cannot be added to a single doorbell.

    We hope this clears things up. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask in the Roku Community.

    Best regards,
    Jess

      I have a suggestion for additional chime options:  Notification-enabled TVs currently play a sharp tone and display an onscreen popup.  It would be useful to provide a TV notification option that allows the user to select a tune and volume level, similar to Chime settings in the Smart Home app.  Every Roku TV and streaming player would then become a potential doorbell chime.

      I'm gathering that if I were to need 2 chimes I would need 2 doorbells and based on the context if someone rings either doorbell that both chimes would go off, is that correct?

        No, only the chime associated with the doorbell that is pushed will chime. Each doorbell is connected to only one chime. 
        Not a very well thought out design if you, like me, have one door that people would ring a doorbell at. We can’t hear the chime in most of my 2,500 sq ft home. 
        Luckily I have 5 four-legged doorbells so I’m alerted if someone is at the door that way or by notification on the app.
