Neighbor Tenant’s Wind Chimes

By Patricia

I live in a duplex type apartment.  I am retired and I am home all day and I listen to my neighbor’s wind chimes 24/7.  Our apartment is in a high wind area coming out of the Southwest.  There are days, of course, when they wind is still but even a 5 MPH wind can cause her lightweight aluminum chimes to clang, clang, clang.  During the night, I rubber banded her chimes at 3 a.m. when she was not there.  I know it’s not right but I was so mad and tired and I just didn’t care.  I needed my sleep.  She is gone 2/3 of the time from her apartment.  I complained to my manager and she finally (after a lot of complaining) had the tenant move the chimes down about 15 feet to her bedroom window.  It barely improved the sound but I can still hear the chimes even with my windows closed.  At night it is the worst.  I like to sleep with my windows open during the summer but I cannot sleep with chime noise.  The tenant refuses to take the chimes down.  I am sleep deprived and my nerves are shot.  It is one thing to listen to them all day long, but at night when you want to sleep, it is a different story.  My manager told me she has every right to keep them up.  So my neighbor is forcing those wind chimes down my throat.  I am the only closest neighbor to her, everyone else is across the street and much farther away.  Today we had 20-30 MPH winds, the chimes were going nuts, very annoying, I am sick of listening to them.
