Wind chimes

Neighbourhood chimes on a windy day, like today, are intrusive and irritating.

You can always hope they break, if the wind is bad enough.

We used to have 'em. They were pleasant in a light breeze, once in a while.

Took 'em down. Noisy fuckers.

I used to have various ones up, but I no longer have a porch to hang them in...and I have people all around me now.

Some things are hard to get used to and my lack of privacy for hanging my chimes is one of them.

These are those tubular bells kind. It'd take a hurricane.

I never liked them, any more than being forced to listen to others' music turned up too loud.

Sorry you lack privacy - that sucks even more.

They can be a problem sometimes, so can city chickens. There are rules against dogs barking, but not wind chimes.

I do feel better having put voice to my pain.

I have a set of Tibetan prayer bells hanging just inside my bedroom window.
They have the most beautiful sound....like water dancing over rocks. Because they're inside, my neighbours don't really hear them.

You could always sneak over and cut them down .

If that's the worst it ever gets?

Bless you, always the Pollyanna.

that sounds delicious

My refrigerator makes a noise when it's in defrost mode, not necessarily annoying, but when i clicks off, it's like being hit in the ears with a 2x4.

Yeah, that would be considered vandalism, trespass & destruction of private property. Getting caught could cost big money in legal fees & fines.

A better solution is just asking the neighbors to take the wind chimes down if they're too loud.
If they refuse, get hold of a decibel meter & document the sound levels. Most jurisdictions have sound ordinances, particularly at night. If the wind chimes are over the legal limit & the neighbors refuse a polite request to take them down, having the local constabulary deal with the situation is a better, more effective and legal route.

windchimes are good for your spirit. I would suggest that you learn to meditate and plan your daily practice to align with the rhythm of the wind.

No sense of humour ?

Wow, Humpty made a post that wasn't about me.

 

[1sickbastard]

Nope. None whatsoever.
And I'm not being sarcastic.


P.s. Don't fear the sarcasm.

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

Wow, Humpty made a post that wasn't about me.

....and yet you feel compelled to appear in it. How is that?

The wind has rhythm? Who knew.

It was top of my first page, Humpty. I just found it amusing. Not like you, bumping hours or days old stuff just to have a pop. But there again, you're...you.

 

[Saint Peter]

Do not ask for whom the wind chime chimes...

 

[SolarHomo]

It chimes for Pete.

 

[yossi]

I love the sound of wooden chimes, but metallic ones can be grating.

Slow night? You couldn't wait to reply. I don't believe I've "bumped" any old stuff recently. Could you show me where, just in case, please?
