Description

Is there some way we can politely request Saint Joseph Church NOT play their artificial speaker-music of bells playing all the time? I understand if they want to ring their bells (or rather, play the speakers on the tower), on Sunday to call the faithful to mass, but playing 2-3 times per day, for a half hour at a time? We live just a block away, and it is loud enough that even inside our house with the windows closed, we have to raise our voices to be heard. This is absurd!

Why do Churches have the right to blare their music at top volume across the neighborhood? If anyone else blared their music so loud that it could be heard in a six block radius, you can bet the police would show up in short order, and they would be shut down in no time.

I do not wish to listen to their music that they foist on me multiple times per day.

If not, then I'd be interested in finding out how I can get ahold of a license to blare MY music as loud as I like across the entire neighborhood several times a day. In fact, I'll even install a 100ft pole in my backyard and install the massive speakers on top of the pole, to ensure everyone can enjoy my taste in music from Trumbull st to East Rock Park. Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd anyone?
