About an hour ago a storm passed through here. The first sign I have besides my windows rattling are my neighbors wind chimes. Now I don't mind them at all. I think they have their own kind of music. My sister however thinks they are very irritating. How do you feel about wind chimes?

Beautiful music definitely. We have them hanging inside and outside. We even have one hanging from the ceiling fan and it makes a soft ringing sound constantly when the fan is going. The grandkids love them too. There is nothing that can compare with the smile on their face when I hold them up and let them ring the chime. lol I do recall once, one of them pulled one down on my head while I wasn't paying attention, I definitely heard ringing then.

I think gentle wind chime music is pretty and doesn't bother me what so ever. However, I really hate the sound of some wind chimes. Some of them just produce a real irritating sound, some produce a lovely sound. Just depends on the chime.

I think that wind chimes are very soothing. Also, I am a sound sleeper...and if I have my windows open at night, the wind chimes making lots of "tinkles" means that a storm is coming and I should shut my windows. I suppose sometimes if you are sitting right next to them and can't hear what your company is saying...they would irratate someone. I cannot ever thing of a time when they irratated me so much that I would take them down.

they are ok as long as I can't hear them while I am trying to sleep.

It has been a long time since I have heard wing chimes. I guess if i don't hear them too long , they are okay.I fear if I heard them over and over again I would get sick of them.

I don't mind them at all.
I was just talking yesterday about one I would like to make using a cappuccino mug. I also saved a bunch of old silverware from my husbands grandmother and might make one with that, too.

we have chimes inside our house and i don't think the sound is annoying. its actually lovely in my ear. their music feels really "soft".

I used to have some wind chimes and I find them quite soothing especially the ones made from wood rather than metal or crystal ones, but I suppose if someone had lots of them they could get annoying. Ellie :D

If I don't get the wind chimes all tangled up when I hang them_ I do like the way they sound.
However, I am noise senstive and I can't listen to them all day long.
What was the name of that movie where the wind chimes alerted the aunt in the story that a tornado was coming?
