To ask my neighbours to remove their wind chimes

[wouldyouadamandeveit]

They don't just have one, they have at least 6 and its driving me insane, litterally. There's no point us putting our music on to try and drown them out as it would have to be at full volume.

It's so bad that I can't even try and conduct a quiet conversation as I'd have to shout to be heard.

Aibu to request where I can purchase such a necessary item??
Ndn is batshit.
Revenge is sweet so they say...
And I am not..

All your nearby neighbours will be thankful.

Snip ‘em.

Hate them. Our neighbour has them and I can’t even enjoy a peaceful sit in the garden because of the endless jangling.

I hope they Re reasonable when you request removal op.

@Carlton08, if they sounded like birds I wouldn't mind, and if it were one wind chime I probably wouldn't mind, but to have a full flipping orchestra's worth is unbearable. I seriously cannot think straight with all the noise.

I’d cut them down but noise really irritates me .

I love them (one though, not six).

But I still wouldn’t put them up in my garden for the whole neighbourhood to have to listen to.

Even one wind chime would kill me. I used to live next to someone who had ONE wind chime. It would give me the rage!!! The most annoying thing. I would always say to dh can I just go
Snip it off please. I just never had the guts to say anything to her. Glad I moved!!!

I like listening to them so they wouldn’t bother me.

I’d not think to cut them down if annoying though as they aren’t mine to do that with.

You can ask them to remove them politely, presumably you have nothing or no one in your garden though making a noise first.

@Weloveoptimus ah the ol' wheelie bin deposit, love it

I have one set of wind chimes but they aren't the annoying tinkly ones, they are bamboo and make a much nicer lower sound, also they don't blow around quite as much as the metal ones. If it's very windy I put them away in the shed though. If my next door neighbour asked me to shut them up because they annoyed her I absolutely would though, providing she did the same with her two small yappy dogs that bark all the time that they are outside.

We had a new neighbour move in a couple of years ago. Single man. First thing he did was put up a wind chime. I can tolerate it most of the time but now and again it’s a bit much. The irony is he’s deaf! Feel a bit awkward about saying anything

Tragically, foxes frequently destroy these wretched things beyond all repair.

With catapults.

Foxes respect social distancing.

@Mistystar99 I just threw up in my mouth at that thought!!!!!

@WeBuiltThisBufffetOnSausageRoll now there's a thought, wonder if I could train the cat to do that????

@mistystar99 they should take them down then - no swinging in lockdown they can pop skm windchimes on their fb profile pic instead

Wind chimes are a way of signalling to interested parties that you are swingers. - Only if you wear them like nipple tassels.

I had wind chimes in the garden once and a neighbour came round and said they were a bother to his wife who was a light sleeper. So I took them down. No bad feelings - I just didn't realise they travelled so much.

The only people who should have wind chimes if they want them are those people who live half a mile from anyone in any direction.

If you are reading this and have wind chimes, just know that you are annoying the chuffing hell out of at least one set of neighbours, and please mend your antisocial ways.

I thought that was pampas grass.

You can creep over a wrap an elastic band round them.
(the chimes not the neighbours)
Makes your point without actually damaging them

The horror of seeing your neighborhood hanging a set of tinkling wind chimes outhorrors the horror of your child coming home from school with a new descant recorder and the sheet music for Three Blind Mice

I do actually quite like the sound of windchimes but I don't have any because our homes are all too close together where we live.
Six is ridiculous though! No-one needs six.

@livefornaps I could imagine vienelle doing that in killing eve 😂

Just make sure you snip before you ask as you won't be ae to do it after.

i hate those tinkly fuckers
