I personally love the sound of them but because we are so close to each other I won't put them up for exactly the reason you mentioned

I think the small, high pitched ones that TINKLE are annoying and sound cheap. But big tenor and bass pipe ones can be deep and soothing. Those are costlier, but worth it. Low tones don't carry like high-toned TINKLY ones do.

You did the right thing. Maybe she'll give it some thought and realize it was more neighborly of you to go to her, than call Code Enforcement, or whoever.

Good for you! You handled it in a friendly neighborly fashion. 👍

wait till they go out to dinner and place them on the ground so they appear to have fallen. maybe the neighbor will take them down to check them out and possibly move them. can't hurt trying.....
Wouldn't recommend doing that; you never know when a neighbor is going to have small, discreet cameras watching their place or a passerby sees you doing that. Things could go bad in a hurry. Just man-up (or lady-up) and go discuss it with the neighbor. It's one thing to go onto a neighbor's property, it's another to mess with their belongings.

Perhaps you should thank them with a gift card for lunch or dinner or perhaps some flowers . Might ease any bad feelings .

Good for you! You identified a problem and handled it with class. Well done. :thumbup:
I sincerely hope that my neighbors would tell me if there is anything we are doing that they find annoying.
Much better than simmering in silence.

With the small lots most of us have, and the frequent winds, I highly suspect they already do bother some of your neighbors. When it comes to hearing sounds from neighboring lots, I think most of us prefer zero.

I agree.

Most people wouldn't tell you that something bothered them, even if asked. So perhaps if you have wind chimes you should think twice?

A word to the wise is sufficient.
