in wanting to jump over nextdoors fence with a huge knife and chop down their fucking windchime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[copingvquietly]

its driving me nuts.it appeared today.why????why does anyone want to listen to tinkle tinkle all day long aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.and its windy so now its all i can focus on.i think im getting a twitch!!

Mrsruffalo, if your neighbours came round and said they were finding the noise intrusive, irritating and it was distubing them at night, woul you take them down? or tell the they had to much time on their hands?

my parents asked their elderly neighbours to take down their metal wind chime hat was hung on their shed. it was a bloody awful thing! turned out, the wife hated, her husband wanted it up, so she was v happy to be given an excuse to take it down.

I have the large wooden one hanging from the tree in my garden, the others are on the back porch.
I am sure my neighbours would let me know if they found it troublesome- we are quite good friends.
I certainly wouldn't expect them to check with me every time they put the radio on in the back garden.
You are all quite amusing

When we viewed this house neighbour had windchimes. Not a problem and we can't hear them now due to other neighbour's dog barking every time someone walks past the house. If someone walks past with dog then neighbour's dog trys to exit through front window (glass included). Neighbour thinks this is acceptable. Now neighbour two doors up has another barking dog! Arrrrrgh!

Sorry, forgot this is a AIBU thread...YANBU especially if you've already told neighbours this is irritating you. Could expand on this but wine taken and will turn into rant!

I think windchimes are more of a problem at night. Our neighbour's windchime was hung on their shed which is in their back garden. They sleep in the front of their house. We sleep at the back of ours which is next to their windchime. I don't have a problem with windchimes during the day but when you are trying to sleep at night and all you can hear is the noise of them in the wind they really are bloody annoying.

mrsruffallo...would you take them down tho if your neighbours asked you to cos they find them annoying?

i didnt mean this to cause a row
its still up and its still windy.but at the moment i can cope with itill wait and see if it comes down and if not then snippity snip

People next door to me have a yappy little shit of a dog that is out all fecking day and barks all the time

We're on route to local school and get manic barking from 8:00 onwards. I feel your pain...

It was very courageous of you to go around and admit that you'd unhooked it.

No, whispy, I certainly wouldn't. If they had the nerve to come round and suggest I change the direction of my house.garden I would absolutely balistic

I am Katyamum husband (Katyamum wants to disown this message).

Don't cut it down - too obvious, they'll replace it. Judicious use of superglue much better solution.

POINTLESS AND ANNOYING I SAY CHOP IT DOWN!

YANBU - but like the superglue suggestion better than the knife. Much cooler.

Or getting a big elastic band round them? (In the interests of not actually committing vandalism . )
They probably wouldn't realise they hadn't heard them for a while...

windchimes are the devil's work, they sound like something from a horror film

sit tight cvq
it's so windy, the strings will get tied up in knots so tight and so quickly they will never be untied again
you could always give them a helping hand

they said they would take them down SO WHY ARE THEY STILL FUCKING TINGING!!!!
if i wasnt sat feeding i would be able to do something about it

jump over the fence and tape them up with masking tape!! thats what my dad to my mums when hers were annoying him. took her days to realise!

i was just talking to a friend on msn and she asked how the tinkle tinkle tinkle was.i suddenly realised i couldnt hear them and THEYVE TAKEN THEM DOWN!!!!!!

wooooohooooooo

The thing about windchimes, though, MrsR, is that they don't just tinkle-chunk-tinkle-...clunk...chonk..tinkle when you're in and listening to them, they do it all the time, when you are away on hol, during Chrismas dinner, before breakfast, all when the owners are far far away. Usually people do not leave radios on in the garden 24/7/365!

I like ongoing natural sounds - growing bamboo in the tropics creaks and knocks all the time. I spent a night on a glacier once - creaking and crashing. Even lambs on the fell. But deliberately engineered noise is just aural litter IMO, and windchimes are as irritating as a gate slmming in the wind all night.

Do you find them relaxing, or contemplative or somethng?

cvq - result!

cheersim just glad they kept their word

Lets hope MrsR's neighbours don't put up something in their garden that produces some annoying noise 27/7/365 then because if you wouldn't remove it for your neighbours you can hardly ask them to do so for you!
