the worst are
* bells from catholic churches (when they play early Sunday morning they just invite you to blaspheme)
* muezzin shouting from the mosque (aggravated from the fact that they talk Arabic, were in many countries, e.g. Turkey, nobody talks arabic, so nobody understand!)
and the worst of the worst is that in both cases sound comes from tapes (no live at all, and very bad taped).
Any national new legislation must face this issue: as to say it will be very hard deal with, without touching religions' susceptibility.
- WalterBright 7y ago> bells from catholic churches The huge bronze bells in Germany are another thing entirely. They sound wonderful (dare I say heavenly?). But the cheap electric klaxons used in American churches are horrible.
- Ao7bei3s 7y agoThere's nothing wonderful about them when you live half a km/mi from them and they go off at 9AM, don't stop for 10-15 minutes and you really wanted to sleep.
- jfnixon 7y agoI'm sure they put them up after you moved to that location, correct?
- loco5niner 7y agoHonestly, It's hard to fault someone for failing to notice something that happens irregularly like that. Unless you're willing to camp out in the front yard of a prospective home 24x7 for a week, you're likely to miss this. The onus is on the noisemaker to make less noise, not everyone else to avoid the area. If they didn't move there, someone else with less money would have.
- rogerthis 7y agoThat's surely a sign.
- KoftaBob 7y agoWhere the hell do you live where those two are a common thing? In the US, the vast majority of places have noise pollution laws where neither would be allowed.
- umeshunni 7y agoAnd if you live in India, you have to deal with both of those as well as loud religious music from the local Hindu temples. My parents live a half kilometer from the nearest temple and during festival seasons (which is 1/4 the year), they are woken up at 5am by loud religious music played at the temple at 100+ dB. And this isn't some ancient religious hymn, it's religious lyrics set to pop music / bollywood tunes mixed by some 2nd tier recording artist.
