Ear Plugs ( industrial ones that they use at airports ). 2. Booze ( after a few you may start grooving to the tune of the Chimes ). 3. Move ( a lot of hassle ). 4. Hire a Wind Chime Assassin ( they can jump over to the neighbours penthouse all Matrix style and do the deed. ). 5. Booze ( if you have enough it will blot out the noise ). 6. Buy a Parrot ( it should block out the noise, however the noise of 'pretty polly' may drive you to drink). 7. Booze (need i say more ). 8. Play Chinese Opera music really loud ( you may need item number 1 for yourself with this one ). 9. Wear a hasmet suit when in the house and on the Balcony to block out the noise ( however rather hot in KL, so maybe not ). 10.If all else fails BOOZE!!!!!! Just my thoughts good luck.

I also live in an apartment building. I am on the 6th floor of a 12 floor apt. building. Each apt. has it's own small balcony. The apt balcony next to me is located about 10 feet from my bedroom window and is adorned with an industrial sized wind chime. Needless to say, I had a major problem with sleeping or enjoying sitting out on our balcony without having to hear the wind chimes which sounded more like church bells clanging. I initially asked my surrounding neighbors if they are bothered by the chimes. I received answers such as "oh yes, aren't they charming" and "Oh, I just love to listen to them". So, I knew I would gather no support from them. As there is no specific clause in our lease about musical instruments or the like, I approached the bldg. manager about this issue and was told there was nothing she could do. Well, I decided to talk to the next door neighbor directly. I explained the situation to them and they were appalled at what I had said to them about the chimes. They flatly refused to remove them. Time to take matters on my own. I decided to borrow my son's fishing pole one day and attach a small weight at the end of the nylon fishing line. When I was sure that the neighbors weren't in, I went out on my balcony and started to practice my fly-fishing. I don't have to tell you that my lack of experience in fly-fishing caused the weight to accidentally get caught in and tangled up with the monster wind chimes. I just gave it one generous tug and "whoooosh" I had the chimes at the end of my pole. After reeling in my catch, I wrapped it up and disposed of it in the garbage chute down the hallway. VOILA! No more wind chimes! I just can't figure out why the next door neighbors snub me in the hallway since then. Oh well, at least I can get some sleep nowadays. I had a similar problem.
