This brought back memories. lol.
We bought my mum a wireless doorbell but before fitting it for her, we tried out all the chimes , one by one, at our house. We noticed from our kitchen window that the neighbour next door opened her front door repeatedly, looked down her drive and then closed the door. The penny dropped that mum's doorbell was activating the neighbour's chime because both systems were factory set to the same frequency. The instruction booklet mentioned this might happen and there were several buttons in it that we could adjust (8 or 16 from memory). We could move any number we wished to set another frequency for mum's bell. Most people don't bother to change the factory setting, hence the problem.
