Previously, rules put limits on the volume (no higher than 70 decibels) and time the calls could be played. Going forward, mosques will be able to broadcast the call as early as 3:30 a.m., and as late as 11 p.m. Up to now, the broadcast was limited to only three or four times per day.

Oops, didn't mean to respond to FarPoint but rather to the OP. But as for church bells, there should be limitations on those too if there aren't. Like at noon only.
