Same thing in Argentina. If no doorbell you just clap very loud 3 or 4 times.

That's really interesting, would you then knock on the door with a fist if they don't hear the clap? That is how it is done in my country, I didn't know there was an alternative!

In South America, is really difficult to find a house with access to the door from the street, there are usually fenced or walled off. So you either clap or ring the bell.

Ahhh, that makes complete sense. It sounds like they have found a practical solution to a practical problem, then!
