Ok, so each city is different, but in the city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin there is no ordinance that protects Church bells from being a violation of noise ordinance. They go off all day at multiple locations and can be heard throughout the city at irregular intervals.
The city attorney, after speaking to me, issued a notice to the police department to not enforce and issue citations to churches who are in violation of the ordinance.
How do you feel about it? If church bells in your city were not protected and were in excessive volume, use, and were stationed at multiple locations throughout city would you feel it was a warranted complaint? Would you feel like a "good guy" or "good girl" by not enforcing the law?
