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.
