Wind Chimes

One wind chime would be one too many for me.

I think it depends on the sound. Some are lovely, gentle and soothing. But some are clanging and discordant. I had some like that which eventually I hurled in the bin one day when they were driving me mad.
I've got some gentle small chimes hanging in a couple of windows and they are soft and soothing.

I must admit to liking the gentle sound of wind chimes in a soft breeze but can understand why they annoy some people when they live in close quarters to each other.
The sound is far more acceptable than the noise of lawn mowers/radio's and D.I.Y'ers.

My neighbours had some wind chimes for a while. One afternoon I was trying to ignore the constant' ting ting 'whilst in my garden, I heard a rather agitated male voice from next door say ' Take those b*****y things down before they drive me completely mad !' Couldn't have said it better myself.

Don't like wind chimes in gardens, thankfully my neighbour doesn't have them.

Eh!!
How the heck do I know, got to be more sound proof than a fence!
It is about 14 foot high as are most Georgian Town houses grade two listed are.
Never had any complaints

While we are on the subject, what style of house do you live in elegran?

Is the wall soundproof, Nonu ?

Well as I have a walled garden it does not bother my neighbour one jot!!

I love windchimes - DH hates them.
I compromise and hang pretty things on our trees that don't make a noise.

If I had next door neighbours (thankfully I don't) the two things that would drive me mad would be wind chimes and a b***dy great trampoline close to the fence.

I don't think they should be in public places. I can fully understand why not in Graveyards. They could just drive you potty.

Don't inflict such things on your neighbours.

Very soothing !!

CHARLEY they certainly don"t drive me to distraction, love "em to bits !

Do they not drive you to distraction?

We don't like them but DD keeps hanging them up in the orchard so DH is threatening to use them for target practice!

The local graveyard has banned wind chimes as mourners found them distracting during burial services.

As you can imagine this has upset some families who had placed wind chimes in the trees.

I had lots of them in my porch; always had to decide which one to 'activate' when I got home. Took them down a couple of years ago but found them again last week. Nearly threw them away but they went back into the cupboard. Need to find a new home for them [ceiling they were on is due to be plastered].

Important to get one where the weight on the central drop is not too heavy or the wind cannot move it - mine will only sound in a gale - and we are not normally in the garden during a gale!
