Chime not loud enough!

I live in a conventional two storey house and have successfully installed a Doorbell on my front door, with Chime in my hallway, but I can't hear the Chime elsewhere in the house, even at max volume.

 

Is it possible to install an additional Chime, or  speaker of some sort, in another room so I can hear when somebody rings the bell?

 

If that's not possible, unfortunately the Doorbell is pretty much useless as a doorbell!

Must admit, the chime is pretty loud on the highest setting. 
Within the Sky Protect app settings for the chime, you can choose a number of different chime sounds that may be easier to hear for you and can also increase the Chime sound.
But, one of the points of the SKY Protect app, is that around your house/garden and even away from your house you get a notification alert on your Applw/Android device.
The notifications work very well and instantly for me on my Android phones and iPad aound the house and on my Android phone when away from my house.

There aren't any such options.  Given the Chime connects by ethernet cable, it could be moved elsewhere by using a longer one, or, possibly, by using Powerline network adapters (not confirmed)

I'm with you on this. Sky engineer installed our super fast broadband router in the cupboard under stairs.... so that's where the chime is! Can't hear anything at all! Really frustrating! Another chime that links would be amazing!

@FionanDave  Powerline adapters might help you with the placement of the chime, as long as there is a power point close to the front door and you can hear the chime from that position.
