I love the sound of Corinthian wind chimes. I don't like the metal ones that are constantly "tinging" . Corinthian chimes are like being in a spa. I would bring them and see how they work out. You can ask your neighbor, after you have had them up for a while. I believe they will love them. You should take them down when it gets really windy for their protection!

You can listen to them here.

Corinthian Bells Wind Chimes

Would you want to hear it every time you walked into your lanai?

No.

The way way the start of this post is worded tends to make one think you feel you are special. When you buy a house you do not accept an offer, you make one and it is accepted or not. The way you state this, it says you feel you did someone a favor by accepting their offer to you to buy their house, typically unsolicited.
Now, in case you are not aware, wind chimes are not sound directional. They will not only be heard by your ears but everyone else's within the same range. So what you are asking is can I annoy my neighbors with my wind chimes??
Please reconsider your desire to live within Grey Poupon range of your neighbors. You should always consider your actions and their impact on others.
Please ponder all of this, then make your decision.

Please, do not bring your wind chimes.

We, and our neighbors have wind chimes. No complaints from other neighbors. If we get complaint, the chimes will come down.

Those who love wind chimes should keep them locked indoors with the windows closed. Use a fan, if you must, to enjoy them.

Neighbors who have wind chimes outdoors simply have no concern for their neighbors. If a neighbor had wind chimes outdoors, I would be tempted to buy a huge dog and let it do its business on the wind chime neighbor's lawn.

If it makes a difference, the home is on a lot with open separation (no fence) between homes, with a pond in back. Walking trail on the left and a home on the right.

Thanks in advance for all the thoughtful responses I am about to receive. This forum is amazing.

Wind chimes are noise pollution. That is a grating noise that people have no ability to quell if the wind is rattling them. Please don’t do it. Your neighbors will appreciate you leaving them in the box unless you remove the offending noise pollution makers.

The only best answer is to bring them, but then adapt to your neighbors. You can't change TV, and to try to change TV would be even more unappreciated. However, you might find neighbors who are deaf, or you might find the chimes broken after a big thunderstorm.

One scenario is that all the neighborhood is full of snow birds, so in the summer time, you can put them out when not alot of people are around.. . . So you might get the ocassional usage.

good luck

I do not have a yes or no opinion. Recently I received a beautiful wind chime as a gift in memory of my deceased sister. A beautiful inspiration is inscribed on it with her name. I was unsure at first of hanging it. But it is protected from the elements of rain & breezes. If it does chime, it is very soft at least to me.On windy days, I have used rubber bands on the chimes to keep them quiet. Just a suggestion.

Only I hear this one. I did ask my neighbors when I moved in and only one minded. The key is to be thoughtful to your neighbors. Be connected to them so you can talk out your differences. You already seem to understand this. Welcome to TV.

That is a perfect place to hang them - in the lanai that has doors!

My wife has some wind chimes that she put on a Shepards crook in our backyard. She found them on the patio table one day and she put them back on the crook. They were back on the table again the next day. Since I’m the only other person with access to our backyard, it was obvious who took the chimes down. It didn’t take three times - the chimes have never appeared again. Darn, I hate wind chimes.

[Calisport]

Its too windy down here for most chimes. Mine is in the garage.
