Fear of windchimes?
#14
Windchimes to me are as annoying as car alarms. Stop the noise PLEASE. When we were in FL a couple months ago visiting my daughter there was a house on the other side of her lake that had windchimes. They didn't bother anyone but me but I hated them. I was trying to sit outside, enjoy the warm weather and sunshine, and read a good book. Instead of peace and quiet there was non-stop noise from the clanging and banging. Thank goodness we don't have any around us at home. I get to listen to birds, the wind, and the peaceful silence.

^^ I too love windchimes and the peaceful sound they make lull me to sleep at night. I keep a lovely chime out on the patio below my bedroom window and adore the sound it makes. I'm not crazy about those bell chimes that some people have, but remember when I did a silent retreat at a Cistercian Monastery the sound of the cowbells was pleasant at night.
I would not last an hour.

Generally I find wind chimes to be a soothing/pleasant sound. I recall one day sitting outside and it was really windy. I was trying to read and could not concentrate. I had to take some (I have a "few") of the wind chimes down, but I put them back up in case Spokesman or dlq04 comes to visit.
