Neighbours wind chimes

[Tinkerbell1956]

I love sitting in my garden listening to the birds and "white noise" but my neighbour has put up wind chimes both tinkling ones and on that sounds like horsed hooves! I suffer from migraine and high pitched noises affect me. I am almost dreading the warmer nights when I need my bedroom window open. My neighbour is not an easy lady to speak to. Help!

I have neighbour with wind chimes. Thankfully enough doors down that I Don't usually hear them from my house. They go bonkers in our frequent gales, though. Wish i'd thought of the sellotape when the house was in between occupants because the current ones haven't removed them!

I used to have some wind chimes in the back garden in the UK and rather like them. But then our bedroom was at the front. Bloody thoughtless when I consider it now.

Here in Au, an NDN's houseguest bought some as a gift for her and they duly went up in the yard. As soon as the guest left (weeks later) the NDN popped round and asked was the sound a nuisance. I said yes, and she said she'd felt duty bound to have them up at the time, but immediately removed them. Peace restored.

I wonder now if your wind chimes sound OK, but others'' are terrible. Like music.

Oh God they are hideous things. I couldn't enjoy something that I knew had people around me seething and unable to relax in their homes.

Why do you hang old CDs from a tree? Do you usually display random media rubbish in your garden? Old video tapes on the garage wall? Knackered floppy discs in the rose bushes? Fucked records in the rockery?

No deary, I don't, I happen to find that they can add some interest to the usual boring gardens you all seem to prefer!

Make them disappear?

Cut them down.

Lay them on the road outside.

Pound them with a sledgehammer over and over and over again.

Jump up and down on them over and over and over again.

Drive over them forwards and backwards over and over and over again, preferably using a steamroller 'borrowed' from the local roadworks.

Return them to neighbour with a polite note saying you found them in the middle of the road and believe they are theirs.

At least, this is what I would feel like doing.

But I'd suggest speaking to neighbour and if necessary using the sellotape suggestion, if that doesn't work then use something harder to remove than sellotape e.g. duct tape.

I rather like the sound of wind chimes- spent several hours awake in the night last night, the window was open but there was a deafening silence - I love hearing the birds or any gentle sound, I find it restful, personally.

Neighbours living across from me at a previous house hung some outside their front door. Some of those bing-bonggy bamboo things. They weren't up very long. Apart from the fact that they decided it would annoy all of us neighbours it also annoyed them.

I wondered what bothers those whose gardens aren't full of cat shit and who doesn't live next to a Jack Russell ... Now I see: wind chimes, of course!

Pity the poor sod out there who has a neighbour with wind chimes so loud that they send next door’s jack russel into a barking frenzy and mean they can’t hear themselves think when they’re cleaning the shit from the cat that lives 2 doors down from their garden.

Fucking wind chimes ...hate them
Now the sound of gentle rain in the dark ...fantastic
