Doorbells are not universally required in new homes; building codes and regulations vary by location. While some local codes may suggest or recommend the installation of doorbells for convenience and accessibility, they are typically not mandated. Homebuilders often include them as a standard feature due to consumer preference. It's best to check specific local regulations for precise requirements.
There are 2 types of doorbells and they are: 1.Wired 2.Wiredless But there are also Door Chimes and Doorbells
Doorbells are the alarm that help visitors knock the door when they come visiting.
The best wireless doorbells on the market are the Sadotech doorbells. They are the best because they have one of the longest operating ranges at over 500 feet (transmitter to doorbell). And these doorbells have over 50 chimes/ringtones, while the competition only has 3-5 chimes.

This snippet is taken from the New England Breeze Newsletter (http://www.newenglandbreeze.com/nl/TEM20080901.html): There are about 5,000 homes in Hudson (MA). Lets assume that 80% of the homes have working doorbells. 80% x 5,000 = 4,000. Let's also assume that all the doorbells draw 3 watts (I bet the older ones draw more). 4,000 x 8,760 x 3 / 1,000 = 105,200 kilowatt hours per year - enough electricity to power 10.5 average homes for a year. Ouch. Want scarier? As of the year 2007, the US Census estimates that Massachusetts has approximately 2,700,000 households. Again, assuming 80% have working doorbells like mine, that's 2,160,000 doorbells using 3 watts of power. 56,764,800 kilowatt-hours or 56.7 megawatt-hours of electricity to run Massachusetts' Doorbells. Enough to power 5,676 average homes for a year (all of Hudson's homes in fact). How about the nation? The US Census estimates 127,901,934 homes. Using the same 80% assumption, that's 2,689,010,261 kilowatt hours. Enough power to run about 268,900 average homes for a year. (95% of the homes in Alaska or 100% of the homes in Wyoming). Nationwide, each kilowatt-hour of generated electricity is responsible for about 1.34 lbs of carbon dioxide. 2,689,010,261 kilowatt-hours leads to 1,801,640 tons of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere... for doorbells.
Doorbells are not a required component in the home inspection process but most home inspectors will take a look at something if you ask them to.
Home inspectors are not typically required to inspect doorbells, as their primary focus is on the structural and functional aspects of a home, such as plumbing, electrical systems, and safety. However, if a doorbell is present and operational, inspectors may note its condition as part of a general assessment of the home’s electrical systems. Ultimately, whether doorbells are inspected can depend on the specific standards set by the home inspection organization or the specific agreement with the client.
