You have No neighbors on the side with the walking trail and No neighbors directly behind you.
There’s a good chance you can find a spot where you enjoy it and it doesn’t bother anyone else.
Corinthian chimes are expensive and have a pleasant melody compared to cheap wind chimes. I’d bring them along and give it a try.

People who hate wind chimes don't care how pleasant the melody is, they still hate them.

I have an accepted offer on a home in TV and starting to sort through what we bring down. I love my Corinthian Bell wind chimes and would like to bring them down. I also realize that others may not enjoy my affection for wind chimes. I am curious if there are any rules or etiquette other than asking my neighbors?

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.

Absolutely hate wind chimes. They go on and on and on, every day … noise pollution. And you can hear it several houses away depending on the direction of the wind. One neighbor 5 houses away had them at the front and after they noticed that people weren’t talking to them, they took the stuff off.
Can I suggest a water fountain instead?

There are no rules about wind chimes. Believe me, I have checked everything. But I hate them and I think they should be banned everywhere. It is inconsiderate to force a neighbor to listen to a wind chime 24/7. It is noise pollution, and it would cause me to sell my house and to move if a neighbor refused to remove them.

Our lots are too small to have wind chimes. We have a lot of breeze here and it would be constant. Nothing worse than watching tv on your lanai or taking a nap and hearing the distracting sound. Please don’t do it.

For the record, it depends upon in which District one resides. The Architectural Review Manual for Districts 13, 14, & 15 has this: “The following is intended as a partial list of lawn ornaments: any man made statute or figure, wind chimes, plastic or silk flowers, windmill, pinwheels, train sets, deer, geese, flamingos or any other animal or human figures.”
