" Windchimes " ugh !
 
Windchimes IMO would be a suitable a replacement for " Waterboarding " whoever came up with this invention must have had a sadistic side.

They should all come with earplugs.

Totally agree with you. Most annoying sounds.

They should be banned in The Villages. But, unfortunately, the noise restrictions in the covenants do not seem to restrict them in any way. So, if your neighbor wants to hang 10 wind chimes around their house, there is nothing you can do about it.

I love wind chimes. I would love it if every house in The Villages had them.

Love hearing them for the first 30 seconds. After that want to rip them off a neighbors' wall. Very very inconsiderate to have them ringing constantly.

Get a continual loop of "Its a Small World" and play it when you're not at home thru a speaker in your soffit--your neighbor with the wind chimes might get the hint--or go totally nuts

I think there is something you can do about it. Politely inform your neighbor it bothers you. Strangely that might work.

Much rather hear a wind chime than smell a neighbors cigar or hear a barking dog

I have always wanted to hang a windchime, but my husband has always said "absolutely not", it is a disturbance to the neighbors and we are NOT going to do that..... probably the only time I ever listened to him, lol. Glad now that I didn't here in TV because I have a Koi pond with a waterfall and I have a couple neighbors who really complained about the "noise" from the waterfall. The waterfall is about 4-5" high, depending on the water level in the pond. Claimed they had to buy a "sound machine" and heavy draperies to "drown out the noise".

I would probably also be a neighbor who complained about a waterfall. If you live close together, you should not install anything that allows noise to travel to your neighbor's property. It is inconsiderate.
