can you make a noise complaint about church bells?

1. Who was there first? You or the church?

2. You can, but you’d be a proper bell end. Pun intended.

3. While you’re at it, complain about trees littering leaves at this time of year.

4. Behave yourself.

   My village is full of people like this, complaining about the church, complaining about the farm smells.

   The track I race at (built in the 50’s) just got shut down due to noise complaints from a new housing estate.

   Get over yourself ffs.

5. No. Its one of those things like traffic noise

6. Only if the church was built after you moved in.

   Was it?

7. No. Well you can but it’ll be ignored.

   It’s a buyer beware situation. The church and the bells were there before you. You should’ve taken that into consideration before you moved there

   I live near a motor circuit and aerodrome. My surveyor flagged it as something to consider when I bought my house.

   A new estate was built close by and they formed an association to stop the noise. They tried to argue they didn’t expect car and plane noises…from a motor circuit and an aerodrome. They were told that was ridiculous so then asked if someone could make the cars and planes quieter. This went on for a few years and was hilarious.

8. You could but no, just no, don’t do it.

   Let them ring their bells it will be over before you know it.

9. Tbh I think you can only complain if they’re doing it at really anti social hours and I don’t think most churches chime at night or early in the morning. Maybe if they do, then you could.
