windchime
Breeze-activated bells
A windchime is a decorative arrangement of suspended pieces—typically tubes, rods, or bells made of metal, wood, bamboo, or glass—that strike against each other when moved by the wind to produce musical or tinkling sounds.
Windchimes are hung outdoors on porches, in gardens, or near windows, where breezes can activate them.
Some cultures associate them with spiritual significance or use them in feng shui to promote positive energy flow.
The gentle sound of the windchime on the porch was soothing.
