Unless they're ringing the doorbell non stop.
However, my playroom is downstairs. I wouldn't hear the doorbell unless it was accompanied by a foghorn.
This is exactly why I have the Ring doorbell... I have my cellphone with me & an extra chime in the hallway on the other end of the house. No matter where I am, even out in back, I will hear it & can let a parent know it will take a minute to get to the door
