what if you live next door? Kinda like your neighbor's dog barking or mowing grass if you work nights
I lived about 3 miles from a church in a mid-sized town in the midwest. On Sundays they'd play music on some gigantic jangly bell thing I could hear loudly at my house... again, 3 miles away. I can't imagine the noise complaints a regular person would get for playing something that loud, but they're a church so apparently it's fine.
This happens surprisingly often. There is a church on my block that I can't hear unless I go right up to the building on Sundays and I know that they do get into because during Covid they moved outside with the singing.
On the one hand, I would be annoyed by more loud noise. On the other hand, it would show the other churches how obnoxious their 5 to 10 minute bell jingles are (hopefully).
Used to go to school near a mosque.
Their broadcasts are actually some really nice kind of singing, which is a lot less intrusive than the church bells I get across the village at 6 in the morning.
It's loud and high-pitched and unasked for anyway.
I'm not part of the religion, but I used to use the call to prayer to wake up during finals week during university. It was different than my other alarms, so my body had a 0% chance of sleeping through it.
Worked astounding well.
Listening to the same recording now gives me fear flashbacks to the dread of finals week, haha.
