I totally agree. Windchimes are most annoying.

It seems to me that if one enjoys anything, it should be confined to their own home. That includes anything that stimulates ones senses. So, it includes aromas, bad views, noise, tastes. Windchimes permeate the silence of nature. Nature is beautiful. Windchimes are downright annoying. On Fort Lauderdale Beach, where I used to live, there was an ice cream truck that would play a sound loop of "Farmer in the Dell" loudly for eight hours every day. Talk about having your teeth jangle out of your mouth. Windchimes are in that same category!
