Yeh, you won't have to look too hard to find a wireless doorbell from
the usual suspects - maybe even Kmart.  If you place the receiver near
you they are load enough to hear above all except a jackhammer.  I got
one for me ol' mammy who wasn't hearing the bell when out the back.  She
now just takes the receiver with her when gardening and it seems to have
a good range of at least 30m tested so far.
