I prefer that people observe the 11th Commandment:

11. Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself.

bells are more pleasant than loudspeakers

Most church bells you hear today are broadcast from speakers. I'd rather hear AC/DC myself.

Useful idiots love their false equivalences, but I might point out that there is a vast difference between the dulcet tones of church bells and the caterwauling of Islamic calls to prayer.

For starters, the Islamic clatter is louder, goes on much longer and represents words rather than just tones. If Churches upped the volume and blared out lengthy spoken passages, there might be an equivalence involved, but they do not do that so there is not.

I already assumed you listened to Hells Bells.

Here in my town the bells are genuine, and not too loud.
I think they make a pleasant sound

I live not far from a church that has loudspeaker bells, and they play them sometimes, and other times they don't. Since the church is across the street from some exclusive homes that sit on a bluff with a riverside view, I think these homeowners complain.

What puzzles me is the sound of these bells are not melodic at all, just random sounds of bells clanging, and it is quite annoying, more so for people right across the street though, and they have a lot more money than the rest of us.

I wonder if in 100 years from now, people will wonder what a bell even sounds like.
Notice, I didn't wonder about the call to prayer......

100 years from now, schools in Britain and other European countries will be teaching that they are an Islamic state and have always been an Islamic state.

Dar al Harb is gradually changing to Dar al Islam even as we type.

That's more appropriate, the recorded bells play here at various times in the afternoon during the week.

You must have never lived in a big city. This is what goes on there when church bells are a ringing...

I have lived in the Bay Area which has a combined urban population of over 7 million and lived just several blocks from a massive Mormon Temple.

You are simply grasping at straws in an attempt at a false equivalence.

Our church does not ring bells. However when we have Oktober fest we play Oktoberfest music and drink a lot of beer.
