Anecdote: In Lincoln UK, the cathedral chimes are not rung after (or immediately before) 11 PM. Mythically, this is because Michael Todd, who played Guy Gibson, the leader of the Dambuster raid in the post-war film, found them too disturbing, at the White Hart hotel, next to the cathedral, when he was filming. As someone who lives in Lincoln, in the hearing of the bells I quite like it, but I'm not so close that it keeps me awake!
