Some chimes seem to be overpowering and much louder than you might want. To lessen the harshness of chimes, stuff a cotton ball into each end of each metal cylinder. The result will be a muted, much softer sound that might be better suited to your ears.
Your neighbors might appreciate it too!
Thanks for the good idea.
It is still too loud for the neighbors any other suggestions
I wrapped the center piece with a piece of felt
