I can’t stand wind chimes either!
I would agree they should be banned! Especially with each & every neighbor having
several each!😡
No sense at all!

Be thankful for the nearly constant breeze that cuts the heat.
For the constant and incessant complainers, buy some cheese on your next grocery run. It will go perfectly with your whine.

I don't consider myself "cranky". I just value serenity, especially when the serenity I seek is in my own home.

Did it really work for the Homeless in Waikiki? Moved from Honolulu 2 yrs ago homeless is a huge problem Didn't think anything could disperse them.

Is the "where ever" on you property too? If that is the case, I would gather up the poops and place them right outside their front door. Speaking to them about the issues seems futile. I hope they would get the message.

The sound of a lovely cord on the piano is enchanting. However, not knowing when the next lovely cord will chime from a wind chime in is an absolute distraction to me. And.......that is 24/7 as long as there is a breeze. HATE THOSE DAMN THINGS!!!!!

Yes it worked while they played the music, they also used the “Baby Shark” song. The Hawaiians seem very partial to their homeless and generally gentle with them. Several are full time workers, your grocery clerk, bank teller etc who cannot afford the expensive accommodations. Then there are the mentally ill, and druggies and they like to come to Waikiki where the rich tourists are.

another take on wind chimes
 

May I suggest watching “Body Heat” (1981) and you will never again hear wind chimes without thinking of that movie.

It is set in Florida and and the weather is not the only thing steamy. “Body Heat” stars Kathleen Turner and William Hurt. Richard Crenna is in it, too, as the rich husband.

William Hurt is a lawyer and damned dumb — not thinking with his brain.

me too very relaxing nothing like a good windchime...

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!
