To think garden wind chimes should be banned?!!

Clearly our neighbours don't seem to think so. We've our bedroom window on the latch because it's a little warm (perimeno) and they are so annoyingly noisy!!

@YayRain We're fortunate in that we are detached, but we do have a 5 yo! 😀

@YayRain I wouldn't want a noisy garden personally! They're pretty loud!

But do you have things that your neighbours have to put up with?

I have wind chimes but I only got them because that's all the consideration my neighbours deserve. If they were quieter themselves, I'd have returned the favour and not got them. But even then, it's nowhere near their bedrooms. I have always loved wind chimes. They have to be good quality and not clangers though.

Do you have your own brand of noise? I love wind chimes and they wouldn't bother me, but it's a bit inconsiderate to stick them up against your neighbour's bedroom and let them ring at night if it's windy.

@StopUsingChatGPT Definitely metal! Incredibly clangy!! Perhaps it's just my age... 😆

They’re annoying but there are worse noises.

Are they wood or metal? I actually quite like the wooden ones. The metal ones not so much.
