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

I use to complain cause I played pickleball, tennis, and shot billiards everyday. Thought I was working again. The old saying; “don’t miss something till it’s GONE

I'm not complaining about wind chimes because none of my neighbors are inconsiderate and I don't have to listen to chimes every time there is a breeze. I would most definitely speak to the offender if I did have wind chimes within ear shot of our home. IMHO, wind chimes are noise no matter how beautiful a sound they make. It is just that.....a sound that should not be there.

I SO agree with you. Our neighbor used to have them and the clanging was constant. Finally went over and had a polite conversation and they took them down. Seems their hearing was so bad they never even really heard them!

I do not like seeing political flags flying when I drive down the street or take a walk. I do not like seeing religious symbols in people's front yards, as I am not living in a place of worship. But too bad for me. People have the right to have those things it seems. If you choose to live in a community where your houses are stacked on top of each other, then you have to live with what your neighbors choose to do within the allowed covenants. Your rights end at your property line. For better or worse. Loud conversations, wind chimes, flags waving, smoking, parties, music, BBQ's, dogs, landscaping design, the list goes on. People buy their homes and live the same as they lived elsewhere. You do not get to choose your neighbors and they did not get to choose you.

Buttercups and snowflakes. Wear ear plugs, walk a different direction. The wind can't be blowing that hard. Is your life that small and delicate? How about those loud mouth people that talk like the person is 20 feet away. Americas "friendly" community. HA HA

Some people find them very relaxing, but should be limited in size

We have a rookery within 50 yards of our garden, and jackdaws nesting all around.
No way are you going to hear wind chimes, which is absolutely fine by me!

I agree that your rights end at the property line. However, wind chime noise travels across your property line onto your neighbor's property, and sometimes even into their bedroom. And, it never stops, day or night. That is the issue.
