When some loon collects ten to sixty rackety hanging bits of ugly-ass
chimes to dangle all around the edges of their home, they make themselves
a nuisance to their neighborhood. Such collectors should be shot dead by
their own drug-dealing teenagers during a drive-by, the corpse buried
under dismantled windchimes & left to decay right there on the broken-down
porch of the chimester's trailer house.

damnation.............i thought i was the only one that got annoyed at
the things banging and clanking all day and night! especially the
clay one that clank
one time, on a beautiful snowy night with a light breeze, silent
night, holy nights, i got so ****ed off at a pile of junk shattering
the tranquility, that i jumped over the neighbors fence and
cut all the wires on all the pieces of the chime and piled them up at
their sliding deck door, they must have gotten the message, peace
reigned

Wind Chimes, love them or hate them, I heat them and currently my life is being ruined by wind chimes in my neighbour's garden. I have been through the local council route and they tell me that unless the noise can be classified as a statutory nuisance they have very limited power other than to ask him take them down at night. I find it hard to comprehend that people are allowed to blight other people's lives in this way, If they played music in there garden all day I am sure they would be forced to stop it, but wind chime, they can do as they please, talk about the classic Chinese water torture. There seems to be no way to stop this noise pollution at the moment, so may be it's time that a legal way be found for it to be stopped. I have no idea how this could be bought into existence, but I am sure there are thousands and thousands of people up and down the country who would be very pleased if something could be done.

We are being tortured by next door neighbour's wind chimes. He put them up a few weeks ago and will not discuss a compromise, being very bullish and I cannot understand his nasty attitude when we have previously got on and I have always been considerate. I am very distressed at the constant noise and lack of control that I have in that I cannot sit in my own garden or new conservatory as it does my head in. I have made complaint to the council. We have set up an e-petition (British Government), please sign it as you don't know when you might become a victim.
Ban wind chimes in built up areas - e-petitions epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions To ban wind chimes in built up areas where the noise can be heard in adjacent properties. The human rights act states 'the right to peaceful enjoyment of your property'. I wish, ideally, a law making these nuicances illegal. Please pass this on to your friends as we needs one hundred thousand signatures before it will be discussed in Parliament. Just go into the web address and search with 'wind chimes'
