The doorbell seems more dignified and polite. Also I want to hear it!!!

Sometimes knocking provides a softer and less intrusive means of announcing arrival. But a doorbell sound would be interesting!

Knocking just feels more personal, maybe an old habit

Unorthofox

Feels like “left or right” all over again.

Hope you’re having a good vacation, Harlan and Jo!

I feel with knocking it’s more likely that Daniel will be able to tell who it is ahead of time since people can have a distinctive knock but are less likely to have a distinctive ring. Ringing also feels like a step removed from this and I feel like Arthur should be directly contacting him since this seems to be more of a personality test or something than anything. On the other hand there’s a chance depending on where he is in the house he won’t hear it in which case ringing would be the better option. It might also be considered rude to knock when there’s something else put in by the door

it feels like you are expected to use a doorbell if there is one. but there's some so firm and satisfying about a good hard knock.

I’m honestly not sure so I just picked doorbell because I prefer for people to ring my doorbell when they arrive.

I'm fully convinced that if we doorbell, someone is going to be inside literally killing Daniel and they'll know we are here. But if we knock, we might have a chance to hear them before they hear us which could give us an advantage. I mean, the Butcher might know Daniel is related to Arthur, even if not by blood, so he might be here trying to hunt down Arthur. Or I am ~paranoid~ lololol

Okay, I'm not overthinking this, too little contest to make a meaningful decision. I'm jumping full on on the absurdist train and finalising my vote for knock because I've just had confirmed that "Shave and an haircut" was a thing in the 30s, and I live in hope that Arthur is going to use that style of knocking.

Satyr Legs

honestly, voted for doorbell in case Daniel can't hear the knock and Arthur is like "welp we tried" and tries to dip

i want this to tie so they get confused and john's hand rings the doorbell while arthur knocks.

Tie means whispering through the mail slot

I think there could be something going on inside the house that would cause Daniel to miss a knock and thus give us a chance to eavesdrop. Ringing the doorbell will give us away with certainty.
