Let the joy be unbridled! My neighbour’s windchimes have FINALLY broken through their string and have fallen! And said neighbours are away for the next week so I’ll have at least a week of blessed silence. Happy happy happy!
Not a particularly cheap set - thin brass bells with a particularly penetrating chime which is just slightly, ever so slightly, off key. Goes through 2 layers of brick wall, double glazing and some serious intervening vegetation with perfect ease and clarity. If you suffered from tinnitus, they would be an instrument of torture. Possibly justifying a violent home invasion. I have contemplated this solution but lack the guts (but not the equipment).
This triggers a past experience I had with neighbours and wind chimes. And it was hung on their side patio right next to my bedroom window. Let’s just say I took care of of the issue ✂️
Maybe a bit obvious. Might just remove the whole thing and give it to the nearest op shop tomorrow. “It blew away overnight, sir, nothing to do with me at all sir”.
Not if you have perfect pitch and very sensitive hearing. See comment below. Windchimes imo are one of the more selfish pleasures. If you like them, that’s fine - you do you. But please do not share them 24/7/365 with your neighbours who might not be so appreciative of unending aural invasion. At the very least, hang them up when you are going to listen to them, and take them down when you are not.
Nobody sensible minds them occasionally, earmuffs are a thing, its just the 24/7/365 bit that really gets my goat.

Was it a cheap set or anything particularly wrong with them?
As a wind chime owner myself I want to make sure I’m not annoying my own neighbours

While they are away you should take the opportunity to sneak in and fill the pipes with spray foam to permanently silence them.

This is incredible news.
Imagine hating on one of the most soothing sounds a person can experience.
Fuck no they’re terrible.
No. Just… No. Wind-chime are fucking awful.
