I live about a hundred yards from a church. Some years after we moved in the church clock started chiming the quarters and striking the hours, having been off-line due to a lightning strike. We quite liked hearing the clock as we could tell the time in the night without groping around for glasses, watches, etc. However between our house and the church is an old folks home. The management there complained about the noise through the night, and for a while the clock was silenced. However sense prevailed and the clock now sounds again.
