Question: Does this also apply to churches? I live on a main road across the street from a church who rings their bells at 8am, 12pm, 4(ish?)pm, and 6pm every single day for about a half hour each time they do it. Weekends included. What's weird is I've been living in the house for about 5 years now and they started doing it around late summer '22. They're so loud that it even drowns out my tv at full volume with me standing directly in front of it.

we wrote them an email kindly asking to stop as its disturbing at a ridiculous level but the response we got was basically a polite "Go fuck yourself"

I'd imagine with that attitude they must be protected in someway so I've just been dealing with it. But a solution to this would be heaven

Pretty sure religious jawns are one of the exceptions under the code.

Edit: Yep:

§ 10-403. Prohibited Conduct. 85

(13) Exemptions. 86 The provisions of this Section shall not apply to the following:

Sure, but they’re describing bells lasting way longer than 5 minutes. Might be worth a shot
