@dan
Sounds like it's a direct translation from German.
"Someone's ringing the doorbell" translates to "Es klingelt". Literally that means "it's ringing."
So if it happened a while ago, that would then become "Es hat geklingelt": "it has rung"
So yeah... Quite likely a bunch of IT nerds who decided to Google translate their app

@dan Whereas a British doorbell would go: “It certainly gave the impression that the doorbell rang. I shall endeavour to ascertain who that could be at this time of night.”
