Many doorbells these days just play a recorded 'ding-dong' noise.

I assume it came from this past century with simpler electric doorbells.

They work like this:

There are two plates of metal, kinda like bars from a xylophone. Between them is a solenoid. The solenoid causes a small rod to move in one direction when it is turned on. The rod is spring loaded so it returns in the other direction when the solenoid is turned off.

So you push the button, the solenoid activates, the rod strikes one metal bar (ding), you let go of the button, the solenoid turns off and the spring pushes the rod into the other metal bar (dong).

Are there any funny pranks besides ding dong ditching?

There are funny pranks to ding dong ditching. for example you can search on youtube for "ding dong ditch gone wrong" and there will come up a video of a black boy ding dong ditching a house, and that boy is me! I rang the doorbell once, ran away, the man came outside and went back in. I rang the doorbell the second time, he came and went back inside. I didn't notice, but when I went up there the third time, he was standing right by the door inside his house, and when I went up to the door, he chased me with a baseball bat. How funny is that!!
