    Windchimes drive us nuts after a while. They seem to chime relentlessly, and our house is so small you wouldn't be able to get away from it no matter what room you go to. I guess we're a bit sound sensitive, we prefer to just hear the neighborhood birds. We had to turn off the cuckoo clock as well! We have some wonderful mockingbirds, wrens, and mourning doves that sing in the mornings in Spring and summer. In the winter we listen to the blue jays, chickadees, and crows. In the autumn sometimes we hear owls at night. I guess they are all our "bird chimes".

    From a very, very light sleeper...THANK YOU! I love the sound of windchimes but my old neighbor had large ones on her back porch and they chimed endlessly on windy nights (very common here) making it very difficult to sleep.

    We live 1/2 mile (as the crow flies) from an airport, so we LIKE the sound of the wind chimes. The down side of living in a city; we have lots of car noise and airport noise all day and car noise all night.. and OTHER curious noises too.
