Where did you buy your wind chime?

IMO, windchimes are hard to buy without hearing them! My favorite is similar to this: this one. It has a deep, rich tone. Mine has a star fish at the top with 4 lines of shells.

I am not sure, but it is something I would want to hear in person and preferably not order on line.  I live in an area that I would not dare have one. My parents live rurally and they have a Maine Buoy bells/North Country Wind Bell, as my mom loves the sound of it.  For many it is probably too much of a one note sound.  But to us it is quintessential Maine/New England sound.

I would try garden stores, gift type stores, craft shops, etc.  Any place I could hear them in person.

ETA - sorry I misread that you will probably have to order online.  I wonder if some place in the description they provide sounds clips?  Maybe look for something like that.  I think the bigger you get or wider diameter maybe a more deeper sound?  But don’t trust that. 

Antoher ETA I think they are callled Maine Buoy Bells if searching.

sorry so big, I will try to resize.  These are not cheap but this is a type of Maine Buoy Bells/north country wind bell.I think they have a deeper sound than chimes. You can get them in various sizes and styles. 

Here is a better sized picture.

This is the one I just got for Mother's Day.  I was really hesitant on getting one as I did not want to be that neighbor!  
This one reminds me of an organ sound.  Very soft and gentle.  Not annoying at all.

We got Bells of Vienna chimes. They sound beautiful. Different tones. They don't clank.

I have about 6 in front of my house. I don't care if I am "that" neighbor. I buy ones that are on the pricey side because they will fall apart if you don't spend good money. I like to hear them before I buy.

I love the sound of wind chimes. My next door neighbor had the tinkle light sounding ones right opposite to my windows and you could hear them from every room in my house. I admit, it became annoying. Fortunately, he and I got along quite well and when I noticed he had some of the metal tube chimes in his back yard, I asked him to trade them out with the tinkle sounding one. He agreed to do so and I appreciated it very much. Our homes were all quite close together so I could still hear the other ones, but not as loudly. He ended up with probably 8 in total. That was too much for our close houses, but I figured there could be much worse things to live next to so I never complained. The neighbors on the other side of his house did complain and that made him buy even more to set up on that side of his house. The two families had a long war that went on for the entire 35 years that the newer family lived in our neighborhood. And as much as I was never the kind of neighbor that got involved in that stuff, my neighbor felt the need to tell me every single perceived slight they did to him. And since I refused to take sides, the woman in the other house always felt the need to fill me in on the happenings from her side too. I just tried to be empathetic to both families. And I was happy that my side of his home got the wind chimes with the rich deep bong sounds.

I have a few really nice ones. I get them at fancy garden shops. My fave are Corinthian Bells. You can hear them here but they are cheaper on Amazon or elsewhere.

I have two of these. Not the wording for you, but it’s a deeper sound and very nice.

The florist in town has them as a lot of people send them to funerals.
