Let the joy be unbridled! My neighbour's windchimes have FINALLY broken through their string and have fallen! And said neighbours are away for the next week so I'll have at least a week of blessed silence. Happy happy happy!
Imagine hating on one of the most soothings sounds a person can experience.
Fuck no they're terrible.
No. Just... No. Wind-chime are fucking awful.
Not if you have perfect pitch and very sensitive hearing. See comment below. Windchimes imo are one of the more selfish pleasures. If you like them, that's fine - you do you. But please do not share them 24/7/365 with your neighbours who might not be so appreciative of unending aural invasion. At the very least, hang them up when you are going to listen to them, and take them down when you are not.
Nobody sensible minds them occasionally, earmuffs are a thing, its just the 24/7/365 bit that really gets my goat.
