Today, I was staying in my family friend's house in France. The church bells ring every hour, which I thought was cute. Until 8 this morning where they rang 24 times. FML

I had the same problem in Italy.. On holy days they play songs every 15 mins.. Our house was directly beside the church too. Feel your pain OP.

Wait so if they rang every hour why didn't the ring at 2am bother you?

That's what loud music and headphones are for. :)

Yep. listening to chill music puts me right to sleep and keeps out any unwanted noise.

That's unhealthy, sleeping with earbuds in let alone loudly. Have fun being deaf at 30.

Headphones in while sleeping won't make you go deaf. The reason they say not to sleep with them in is due to the fact they may get pushed into your ear canal, or the cord could somehow get around your throat and asphyxiate you. Loud volume on the other hand can and most certainly will make you go deaf at certain decibels.

The church in our village does it 2 times for 15 minutes at 8:00 and 9:00 on Sunday morning now that's annoying

Hahaha, I'm used to it, but it sure isn't nice when you live close to a church... Or when you're camping or something

Same here. I grew up in a little village in France and my house is right beside the church. I'm just used to it now and I don't pay attention to it anymore.

It's probably because I'm do tired do don't be mean, but why 24 times at 8? Is it not telling the time maybe? Sorry. Sleepy and confused. Lol.

You should come live near a church in the States. There, they'll play 20 minutes of loud Christian rock at 8 AM!

My wife's parents live in France, and near their home is a church which always chimes their bells once at quarter-past, twice at half-past, three times at quarter-until and four times followed by the number of the hour on the hour. Then, 5 minutes later, they chime the number of the hour again. All night long. Now imagine you can't wear earplugs because you need to be able to hear your infant child's cries. Enjoy that for two weeks.
