Agree about loud talking people..keep imagining them spewing COVID droplets all over me.

The one thing that I found that worked is ask the people to put the wind chimes on the other side of their house. Let them know that you value them as a neighbor, but you find the noise very distracting and you love to sit on your lani and read, but you can't.

The cranky complainers are the ones that get on TOTV and complain to everyone about everything they don’t like but WILL NOT man up (or lady up) and go talk to the source of the problem.

One of our neighbors had them. They were "neutered" one night and quiet for a long time. Suddenly they were back for a couple of days and then disappeared altogether. The video surveillance never did identify who did it... I would buy that person dinner if I knew who it was!

Yes they are very annoying. Thankfully I am not around any, but I do see them as I’m walking my dog around the area, and it would be a problem if it was next door to me. Just saying!

They should all come with earplugs.

I just had to reply but it took a while till I could stop laughing. Agreed, nice at first, but then it's rather annoying. Thank you for giving me a great laugh this morning. Take Care.

If all you have to complain about are the wind chimes, you're lucky

one of our abutting neighbors has wind chimes, sits out back and front smoking cigarettes....and has an annoying little dog that barks at everything and they let the thing out alone at night to do poop where ever

in hockey you hope for "a hat trick"....unfortunately this isn't hockey and they see themselves as 'entitled'... They're 'night owl bar flies'...we can't wait for their favorite watering hole to reopen once the covid-19 stay home order is lifted.

True Windchimes should sound as a lovely chord does on a piano. I happen to have a windchime in the key of C. Each chime is a part of a C chord. Lovely.

I don't think people realize how far and loud sound travels out of their lani's. Lani's are like speaker megaphones and amplify sound. Hello I can hear your entire conversation, also playing music on the lani that you can hear 6 blocks away.

Apparently you are not aware that you are being very annoying to a group of folks as you walk your dog around the area. As has been said many times before "we are in this together". Americas "friendliest hometown" does have its share of grumpy old folks too unfortunately as you must realize if you read some of the comments on TOTV!

I love the sound of SOME wind chimes. However, I know that they are extremely aggravating to others. I know this because other wind chimes are extremely aggravating to me. I try to be a good neighbor. I would not subject them to loud music all day and night. Wind chimes are about the same thing. We should be nice to our neighbors.

We have a windchime. We got it to keep the squirrels off of our screens. Our neighbors have very loud conversations out on their screened lanai, a barking dog that they let out without a leash, and then they yell at the dog to "shut-up" when it is barking. All this takes place after midnight. Which would you complain about?

[SusanKD]

I like the sound of them. I find it’s sounds soothing. Maybe you ask them to limit it to a couple of wind chimes .
