Wind chimes - yay or nay

[SalsaLove]

I personally love the sound of wind chimes in a gentle breeze. However, I live in row a terraced houses with long narrow back gardens that converge. I do wonder if I would forever be known as “fecking wind chime lady” if I hang up my new chimes.

Sorry OP, once had a neighbour who had one. Drove me nuts.

Love them!

Never within earshot of neighbours.

Yes, you will. Our neighbours opposite have some, and they drive us round the bend.

I love them too but not sure about most people. Are you friendly with neighbours? Could you ask them?

No they give me the creeps !!

It's a no from me unless you live in a hippie commune.

Really rude to inflict 24/7 repetitive noise on all your neighbours, if you’re into that noise, put them in your house on a door.

I think you might be called worse names than that OP 😂
I would put up with them if you were my neighbour because I generally leave people alone, but it would drive me insane.

Nope. Anti social bastards they are.

Yes, deeply unfair on your neighbours. Please don't do it. The noise is pretty, but not 24hours a day, 365 days a year.

No, don’t do it

I absolutely hate them. Intrusive noise inflicted on your neighbours.

These are proper bronze chimes. The picture on the box is of hills and a lake - think Sound of Music in summer. Perhaps an indication that they are more appreciated in the middle of nowhere?

They would be appreciated only by someone who likes them, on their own property, fully out of earshot is all others.

They have no place whatsoever out in the wild - unless you actually own that bit of it.

Obviously. Why do you need to ask?

I’m asking because I like them very much but I had a hunch that others might have a different opinion. If my neighbour had wind chimes they wouldn’t bother me.

I love them and wouldn’t mind if neighbours had them - but I know they really irritate most.

No. They are bloody irritating. I live next to someone who has them dotted around the garden. Irritating as hell.

Cheap tacky windchimes - no.
Proper tone metal windchimes tuned correctly - brilliant, and get no neighbour complaints 😁

It’s a really selfish thing to do in a built up area

No, bloody annoying.

No I thought I loved them but our neighbour had them and as our bedroom was at the back they were a nuisance at night.

I'd be over the fence with a pair of scissors cutting the bloody chimes off. It's rude and inconsiderate to expect your neighbours to listen to the sound of something because you enjoy it. Download a wind chime soundtrack and listen to it through earphones.

God no, I really don't like them and would have to go round and beg you to take them down if you were my neighbour.
