   The 16V ones will probably work OK on 24V, so long as no one holds the button in too long. Or, if necessary, you could add a resistor (or, better, some sort of coil) in series with the chime to drop the voltage.

   Buy the one you like and replace the 24 vac transformer. The chime will probably come with a transformer. Running a 16v chime on 24v could make the spring loaded solenoid thumper not work correctly and hence not sound right. If the button were to stick it would surely burn the chime up in short order.

   I like your approach....now lets see your departure

   Yeah, I can change out the transformer, if I can find it. I think its in the breaker box. I was hoping for an easy swap though.

   Usually it's a lump on the outside of the box.
