Wind chimes are beautiful, but they can also be very loud. This is why HGTV’s Ben and Erin Napier prefer wooden over metal wind chimes, since they produce a faint sound.

Erin explains, “The sound that wood wind chimes make is very different from the sound of a tinkly, metallic sound.” She says wooden wind chimes have “a softer sound.”

Along with not bothering your neighbors, another benefit of a wooden wind chime is that it will allow you to create a more peaceful atmosphere outdoors.

Ben says the

sound is “almost unnoticeable.” He continues, “If you're out there and you'd like to have a moment of quiet,

you don't want something really loud distracting you.”

While you can make them yourself, like Ben does in a Season 2 episode of “Home Town Takeover,” wooden chimes are also available for purchase at various retailers, such

as Amazon.
