Cigars go out. Dogs stop barking. Those infernal wind chimes go off 24/7/365.

I was sitting by my pool reading today. I heard wind chimes and I enjoyed listening to them.

I hate them. In 2007 we rented a home in Sunset Pointe for Feb. and March, when we arrived the first thing I noticed was the neighbor had a half dozen wind chimes right outside the master bedroom. Early morning Feb., 2, 2007 the tornado came through, problem solved. That was a little drastic and felt bad for all the people that suffered major damage on our street.

Love it! Great idea. Like the noise torture the armed forces sometimes used. We took our kids to Disney the year after it opened and when I walked out of that "ride" I was ready to scream. They loved it and we had to go 2 more times (ahhh, the days of the A, B,C D, E tickets) . From what I understand it's still the same but they are supposedly "updating" it. Every time we go now my wife dares me to take it again.

Really, folks? Complaining about wind chimes?

Just when you thought you’ve seen every complaint imaginable on TOTV, up pops this....

Have a wonderful sound system which we play at 5% volume usually. Can loop “It’s raining tacos” at a higher volume. Used in Hawaii to disperse the homeless from around Waikiki.
(So far the only thing that makes noise by the lanai are the birds and the crickets. Hope it stays that way.)

For me natural sounds are more soothing than an ' Artificial " idea that somehow someone came up with this crazy idea that windchimes would be who knows what. Has to be out of the Hippie scene everything cool, anti everything.

Totally Crazy, Insane, .

Meanwhile ….. I solve the nuisance my...………………… WAY

Or the warnings entering or exiting the rides with " The platform is moving at the same speed as the carriage". You hear it in your sleep at the end of the day.

Absolutely! Nothing worse than a yapping rat on the neighbor's lanai

Quality wind chimes are tuned lower and are quieter and more soothing. Unfortunately, too many cheap wind chimes will drive anybody nuts.

They should all come with earplugs.
Agree. They should be classified the same as lawn ornaments... not allowed.
