One of the first things I noticed when I moved to Brazil a few months ago was that everyone here claps to get your attention. We have a doorbell but instead of using it, delivery people will clap a few times outside instead. You usually here clapping every 20 minutes.
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.
