I already don't like my local catholic church ringing their bells umpteen times a day, so if I could have a say then I would rather not have more sources of noise in my neighborhood. I just think it's unfair to non religious residents who have to endure their peace and quiet disturbed... especially on a Sunday. Sunday is a day of rest, why ring noisy bells?, it seems self contradictory. Also, a minaret (like a church bell) is a call to prayer, why on earth are people unable to set the alarm clocks at home if you want to go to church / the mosque on time? New Apostolic churches don't have bells, and I never notice any people coming late for service on Sunday in these churches.
