Friends that come to my house have an "I'm here!" alert preference. Some friends prefer to knock, others prefer the doorbell.
I'm not sure why people like one over the other or why, even, people have a preference. Knockers always knock. Ringers always ring.
I ring, for those who are curious, because I don't always hear the knock at my home, and I don't want people I am visiting to wonder, "Was that a knock? Is she here?"
So now I'm curious: do you knock or do you ring?

I'm a ringer. And whenever knockers come over (heh), I worry that the doorbell is broken.

Ring, definitely.
But I find at my house that some people can't seem to find the doorbell at my house. I don't know why - it's not hidden or anything.

I do both. If I know they have a small child that might be asleep, I knock. I also knock if they have an indoor dog, b/c the bell seems to rile them up. For general situations, I ring the bell.
