Bamboo Wind Chimes

20 replies

Next door was bought by a developer and is currently waiting for viewings with tenants.

The owners wife put some personal touches around the garden like rattan chairs, a nice sun lounger and…..bamboo flipping wind chimes hanging from the trees.

Chime? No it doesn’t chime. It goes CLATTER! RATTLE! CLUNK! BANG! All night! On repeat for 24 hours in the wind.

CLATTER! RATTLE!! CLUNK! BANG! All. Flipping. Night. I mean I wouldn’t mind but nobody even lives there!

Theres really nothing relaxing about them. Certainly nothing relaxing about in being kept awake all night. And I can’t sleep this afternoon because all I can hear is, you’ve guessed it … CLATTER! RATTLE!! CLUNK! BANG!!

AIBU to go round there and pull the wind chimes off the tree and burn the sodding things? 🔥 🔥 🔥

Go and take them down. Very antisocial.

My Dad bought some once but thankfully never got around to hanging them in the garden and had them in a hook in a corner of the sitting room. To everyone’s relief!

Yes, take them down!

I have some. They look lovely and have a very pleasant tinkle sound.

They live indoors and will never be put outside. 😉

Take them down !

Believe me I’d love to have a tinkle. Unfortunately I got brain ache instead. What a night 😵‍💫

Glad it is not just me. Right I’m going in.

Absolutely take them down... and please post a pic of the offending article if it isn't outing 🍿

I would ask her to take them down. They aren’t exactly a selling point. If there isn’t a breeze when buyers visit they won’t know they are there.

I have some. I have no idea if they would annoy my neighbours so I hang them up for an hour or two when I’m in the garden and take them down when I go inside. There’s no need to have noisy things outside if you can’t hear it

I judge anyone who has wind chimes 😭

PollieDarton · 06/09/2025 14:07

Done. It accidentally fell in the bushes down the end of the garden out of reach. Tragic. Vile thing

Now I am going to sleep 😂

I love mine and my tinkly metal ones. My neighbours all have wind chimes too. You can probably hear us all from outer space!

rainbowruthie · 06/09/2025 14:19

Good for you - I was going to offer to come and help you - bloody wind chimes I loathe them!

Seriously though I don't even mind those pretty little tinkly ones but these ruddy great clunky bamboo things sound awful

I hate them and I’d have to go round and say something.

I wouldn’t be brave enough to take them down though. So well done you.

Errr..... 😬.... they are not new she must have installed and removed them from multiple developments 🤪

HearMeSnore · 06/09/2025 14:27

A guy I knew once went round and sellotaped his neighbour’s wind chimes together so they couldn’t clank.

nellietheellie75 · 06/09/2025 14:28

👏👏👏 well done!

Looks like it has done the rounds. Probably go thrown in loads of bushes by sleep deprived neighbours 😂

That sounds incredibly annoying. I bought some wind chimes because I like the sound, hung them in the garden then decided it was too windy and put a hair bobble round them to stop them chiming. I haven't released them since because I would feel bad for the neighbours so now they are a little redundant 😂
