Some people seem to find the sound of wind chimes soothing and others find it irritating. I'm in the latter group.
But here is the perplexing thing about most people and their wind chimes. Why do they hang them outside where they can't hear them, but their neighbors can (when outside)?
If you want to hear wind chimes, hang them inside your house and turn on an oscillating fan any time you want to hear them, or leave the fan on all the time if you wish.
That way, you'll get to hear what you want to hear and your neighbors won't be bothered by something they DON'T want to hear.
Yes, we all have to put up with the sound of lawnmowers and loud vehicles, but that's unavoidable. It goes with the territory. But noise that is created simply for the sake of making noise, with no regard as to whether your neighbors like it or not, IS avoidable and should be avoided if you're a good neighbor.
