My nxt door neighbour has them. I think they're silly and cheap, their novelty wears off in about five minutes and then become increasingly annoying.

You can 'mute' these- raise the striker...
They're enourmous... takes a pretty good wind to get them going. In a steady wind the turbulence that the striker generates starts them droning. Or a dog bark or hand clap if its quiet enout.
put them on a second story gable and you can hear them all over the yard.

In a neighboorhood I once lived in, there was this one alley where litterally every apartment balcony had a windchime. It was apartments down the whole block on both sides, so when it was night, and you were walking down it, and if there was even the slightest wind, it would make this really really neat chiming effect.

It's disorienting because unless there is a storm outside, you dont notice them 'warming' up. when you finally realize you are hearing them and your brain tries to locate them in space- I feel like I'm floating...
