You will not be able to use your existing chime with the hard wired ring. It comes with something call a junction it attaches inside your existing chime and disables which ever door you are trying to attach it too. However you have different sounds and one of them that may sound like your existing chime. I’m not sure how the rest of the ring door bells work. I just wanted something that I didn’t have to go with batteries all the time.Also you will have to purchase that doorbell and the chime.

The Ring Doorbell Wired uses an included jumper cable to bypass your home’s internal chime kit, so it will not ring inside. If you’d like audio notifications inside your home, you’ll need to purchase a Ring Chime to hear them. All of Ring’s other battery and hardwired doorbell models (Ring Doorbell Pro, Ring Doorbell Pro 2, Ring Doorbell (2020 Release), Ring Doorbell 3/3+, and Ring Doorbell 4) will work with in home chime kits and AC current doorbell transformers.
