Hay! There's a nice pile of BIG steel pipes up the road a ways, each one about
24inch wide, hmmm ... think I could cut them into 10ft long pices and make a
realy BIG windchime out of them.

Different strokes. I don't happen to have or care for wind chimes at
my house, but next door neighbor has one with gentle bell-like tones.
It's quite pleasant to hear on a breezy day. *Considerably* more
enjoyable than blue jays or squirrels yelling at each other. Wind
chimes in gardens have a long history, and are by no means chosen
exclusively by trailer park dwellers.

One not too loud & bongy chime is not the same as those loons who collect
them for all over their porch & on all sides of their houses.

The only noise I ever made that annoyed a neighbor was when a corner of
the deck's roof rattled in high winds. The neighbor came over with ladder,
drill, & bucket of screws, & asked if he could climb up there & fix it, &
said thanks yes.
