I’m not religious but I’ve lived near both and the Muslim call to prayer is sooooooo much worse. Not even just the frequency but the call itself - the first time it went off, I muted my music thinking it was some kind of ominous warning. I mean no offense but it sounds like pained wailing.
The bells are quite pleasant imo. But now I live by a Jewish temple and there’s no sound, I like that the most
Yeah, I agree with the poster that it’s hypocritical - but you do not want to live nearby any of the mosques that blast daily prayers.
They’re long, they’re loud, they go five times a day (prior to dawn, start of work day, after work day, and late evening prior to sleep)… and I’m sure they all buy their loudspeakers from the same place that supplies cheap drive-thrus.
I agree it’s definitely possible it’s a legitimate noise complaint. Just as ringing bells could be a legitimate nuisance.
I didn’t like hearing the midnight/dawn call to prayer when I was in Turkey, and I wouldn’t like it if a church across the street was ringing its bells at that time either.

Man the speaker thing hits home. The one I lived by had a buzz to it, sounded like they were doing the announcements a kazoo.
