According to a recent survey in the uk, neighbours can get utterly narked off with one another over the gentle sounds of wind chimes. While they might sound lovely in the daytime, the incessant nocturnal jangling is the problem.
It seems that people are mostly too lazy and inconsiderate to walk outside
and take down their chimes at dusk each night.
Electromagnetic wind chimes solve this problem because they have a central, erm, chimey thing which is actually also an electromagnet which will attract the, erm, noisy jangly things when activated.
The turning on and turning off of the electromagnet is remotely controlled from the remoteness of the inside of your house.

I'm lazy, how about an automatic light sensor? Ether way (+) as chimes drive me crazy. |

A set of windchimes can be inexpensively made using several lengths of cut pipe. I propose that an organization of concerned britishers secretly distribute these at night. Preferably located in areas where they are difficult to find, or of questionable ownership. Many, many of them. Immersion therapy for the British. |

Gave me an idea for "Solar Wind" chimes...which of course would be completely silent in space. I'm not quite sure where they could be hung. |
