For those of you who have wind chimes (or have had them before and would like to have them): what do you like about them?
I tend to find wind chimes irritating, especially if the next-door neighbor has them. (If the people around the corner do, it fades into the background.) I'm fairly sure my irritation isn't the repetition, or at least not only the repetition, since I like listening to birdsong, which is often repetitive (mockingbirds weave together lots of different noises, but most species of birds have only a few calls).
(This was prompted by someone else posting about damage to her wind chimes, but it seemed more appropriate to ask here. Sometimes "why do you like that?" isn't really answerable, and "try it, you might like it" doesn't apply here—but I'm hoping this won't run aground on the shoals of the paucity of generally agreed vocabulary for flavor and odor.)
