Neighbour decided to hang wind chimes in the garden

And refused to take it down even after I wrote to them very politely.

Unfortunately, dimi has it. Now your only options are a long game of neighbourly friendship aimed at "Dave, now be a good lad and take that fvcking thing down", or a war of attrition using your own, humongous wind chime or similar devices.

I take matters into my own hands with wind chimes. If they bother me, they're going to be taken down and gently laid down on the ground.

Who the F thinks it is a good idea to have wind chimes? Especially if you have neigbours in earshot? People are mad.

1. Decorate with condoms - preferably used (if your worried about DNA tracing - source them from the car park at the back of the flat roof pub)

2. Send the vicar’s wife an invite for afternoon tea at the neighbour’s house

3. Post to tik-tok

Gross. This is unpleasant from the mind of a teenager but from a grown man it is cause to search a hard drive and inform the neighbours. 

I’m afraid from the second this person decided to purchase wind chimes, you were going to have to live with them. You’ll just have to find some way to annoy them and subtly hint that you would happily exchange the wind chimes for the annoyance you have created. Maybe a strong outdoor light? Just don’t try to out-noise them. These people are less annoyed by noise than you are and you will only send yourself crazy.

If you are in a flat, its likely that there is a covenant about noise and annoyance and you could ask your landlord to enforce that covenant - it might of course be the case that you are jointly that landlord - which won't help - even if technically you'd have a right.  A notice from their landlord might do the trick.

Hard agree with this, in fact I don't think you can try to out annoy them, because they probabny aren't annoyed by anything and you'll just upset other neighbours already suffering 

any chance they are a tenant (a proper one not a leasehold owner)? Their landlord is best bet
