I live next to a Mosque in Europe. The call to prayer is super chill and notably less invasive than church bells.

Church bells cut through double glazing. Call to prayer does not.

Idk, bells sounding the hour are basically like any clock to me (I like clocks so I'm biased). Spoken prayer over a loud speaker is much more invasive imo.

Sounds like you never lived next to a church that will ring their whole bell Assembly for half an hour at a time every Sunday and holiday

The clocks rings are just a extra service. The main reason churches have bells is too tell everyone to move their asses to church

Lived a block away from a Catholic church for several years. Bells did not ring for half an hour, but I do remember them ringing a little longer for some holidays.

I guess other Catholic churches handle it differently?

Might have been a bit of a hyperbole, but I've had them go on for at least 15min when I was living near one. And especially when you want to sleep on a Sunday, it feels a lot longer
