Neighbours windchime

[Daisydu]

It’s massive. It’s not even next door to me but the next one accross, terraced houses. It’s so loud. Luckily can’t hear it in the house but sat in garden and the slight bit of breeze and it’s all I can hear. Why?!?! Why have them in your garden?! They annoy other people! Tempted to have a fire in the garden tonight but really don’t want to upset my other nice neighbors. I just don’t get it. It’s so loud and so annoying!

The sound of that bloody windchime made me want to stick needles in my eyes it put my teeth on edge so much

I loved my friend fir taking it down so the DC next door would hopefully no longer have night mares

I'm glad I live isolated enough that I can have my windchimes without fearing that someone is secretly hating me for them!

I can appreciate that the high-pitched, tinkly ones might be annoying, but the nicer ones with lower pitches and melodic tuning are beautiful, imo. Certainly preferable to barking dogs, screaming children, or the neighbour's loud music.

My neighbours, who have 3 children and a lot of friends/family over all the time, all yelling and splashing and going up and down on scooters all evening - have now decided to get a caged bird. It never stops chirping and has some sort of squeaky toy.
That's cruel too. What is it with single birds jailed in cages. They're meant to fly in a flock.

Strange way round of thinking about it. Traditionally, you would consider the effects on neighbours of imposing an unnecessary noise on them and realise that not everyone would want to hear it and it’s pretty selfish to subject others to it.

@Daisydu

if you know that FOR SURE, then report the drug dealing. Scum need removing from the planet residential neighbourhoods.

Bloody hate them

NDN has one and I'd like to ask her to take it down but she's so lovely and she'd be upset

Sigh

Without a word she just took it down because she wasn't attached to it and because her bedroom was at the front it didn't keep her up at night
I do think most people would take them down if asked nicely. I'm wondering how many seething people on here have tried.

I think it’s a disturbance of the peace.

@@AdobeWanKenobi is he biding by the by laws?

if he's not I'd report him to the Environmental
offucer on behalf of the elderly neighbours.

Superglue all the poles together.

Well you’re not being unreasonable based on the drum kit. That would piss me off also

Yes I know for sure. But he’s well known to the police for it so I doubt anything would be done

She can't hear over the noise of the wind chime.

Could somebody recommend a really LOUD windchime by any chance?

For the garden, i should add. The ones with wooden elements do not last long outside

He is not. This is a smokeless zone.
I did report last summer after becoming fed up with having to shut every window whilst he stood swigging his beer and prodding.
So far we’ve only has two instances this year so I’m tentatively hoping he got the message.

@AdobeWanKenobi if he's just burning shit (not a BBQ) I'd report him every bloody time. It's not a necessity & if you're in a smokeless zone.... 🤷🏻‍♀️

wishing you a smokeless summer!!

I love the sound of wind chimes

I love a good bonfire but I’m not gonna have one for the sake of my neighbours. It’s not hard to be considerate is it

I’ve done the British thing of gritting my teeth until last year when it was miserable and I reached the end of my rope with it. None of the neighbours surrounding can enjoy their gardens (his house backs on to a few as well as two immediate neighbours).
It’s literally scrap wood he stands poking. Every time someone on Facebook offers a cut down tree or a pallet he comments on the post and my heart sinks. They have a wood burner which ironically causes us no issues at all, but when he gets given this wood he chops it, piles it behind the house and then burns it in a barrel in summer and the wood burner in winter.

This last couple of weeks being able to open the windows and enjoy the garden has been lovely so long May it last!

Ooo, I love wind chimes, they're so zen 😁

The first time they blocked her drive she walked straight up their front paths and cut the wind chimes down with gardening shears.

Ordinary scissors would have done the job perfectly well, but the use of garden shears definitely adds a classic touch of justified panache!

It's the sheer relentlessness of the doom bells that is so monumentally unreasonable - if they wanted to put them up and play with them for half an hour, fair enough; but just leaving them up forever is horrifically selfish. Just like taking an hour to mow your lawn or trim your hedge is absolutely normal and unproblematic, but if you just left your lawn mower or hedge trimmers on 24/7, with no hope of it ever stopping, you'd hardly be voted neighbour of the month.

I stayed in a caravan once and the empty caravan in front had wind chimes hanging from it.

I ended up grabbing a roll of parcel tape and wrapping the fuck out of it at 4am.

DP gave me a wind chime Christmas before last. I loved it but took it down after reading a thread on here... sorry neighbours!

I’ve noticed that whenever I’m given a wind chime, or when others are gifted a wind chime, the givers are never close neighbors. I wonder why that is 😄
