To own a home you should want peace and quiet but.... there are others who do not.
My parents in Minnesota had a neighbor who made all sorts of noise except a radio. They had leaf blowers and hedge trimmers and played basketball at night with a street light they had installed that lit the home across the street so bright the neighbor complained and the light was then half blocked up. It still blocked out the stars we used to see from the front yard.
They souped up a riding lawnmower with a bigger engine and their kid used it to ride around the yard for fun at night.
In the winter the father put up a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood and flooded his backyard patio for an ice rink and slapped a hockey puck all night against the plywood. My parents were about 20ft away in the basement that opened to the backyard....whack! whack! etc.
Worst of all was the wind chimes. 24/7 nothing but that noise.
They did not want to hear the wind thru the leaves of the trees or the songs of the birds or the water gurgling from the creek in the backyard.
My parents moved away eventually!
I visited the area many years ago and they had since installed a swimming pool and a deck above the patio to add more noise.
My goal has been to buy a home on a couple of acres for peace and quiet.
Fun song.

In places where the homes are close, like apartments, trailer parks, or the suburbs, it is mind-blowing that people put up windchimes 10 feet from your place.
The idea that I am going to install a permanent 24-hour noise maker for you to listen to for the rest of your life here, Oh look! this one is pretty too, let’s make it three sets of windchimes.
How about the outdoor dog that barks all day and night, listening to classical music or reading a book, or thinking, are out of the question.
