Municipal Noise BY-LAW

If they allow Church bells from 8am to 10pm - that’s 15times, ranging from a single ‘toll’ at 1pm to 12 rings for noon, mostly likely less than 3-4mins total duration cumulatively.

Mom used to play The Bells of St. Mary's every Christmas. That was enough for me. < lol emoji

interesting and sad. Church bells have been silenced throughout many areas as a result of people protesting being forced to listen to churchy stuff, you know freedom from religion etc. Now we have the sound of prayer call echoing through the streets what, 5 times a day? At least the church bells would give you the correct time. Wait until Ramadan when they start reading the Koran all night long. I loved the bells by the way but if doing without the bells is the only way to eliminate prayer call I am all for it.

I read that many chu4ch bells were silenced during the World Wars , to be melted down for arms and munitions.

  Voters in a referendum on Sunday voted in favour of imposing a blanket ban on the building of minarets in Switzerland, public television reported, citing exit polls.

With ballot-counting still underway, the exit polls suggested that the proposal -- put forth by far-right politicians -- enjoyed around 59 percent support.

Partial results also showed that Lucerne is for the ban, while French-speaking cantons Geneva and Vaud are against.
