RE: Door chime - revived

["Adams, Richard" <radams@metasolv.com>]

Hey all-
I was going through my VR6 folder, cleaning it out, and came across this
note.  What I did was remove the module (it unplugs easily), put a layer
of electrical tape over the end, and plugged it back in. Now the
cucaracha is half as loud. You can still hear it, but it is now below
that "annoyance" level.

cheers-
