Only if I start playing metal at high volumes immediately outside the Church during a service.

Maybe churches which still ring the bells overnight despite the various laws should be clearly marked so prospective residents will know?
And yet, loads of people move in somewhere and campaign for new roads to take the traffic past other people's homes instead without attracting this sort of criticism. Odd.

One, churches are already there, look good in pictures, seldom mentioned in sales material. Roads are seen as a requirement, are new, at times going in after the house has been bought.
Train passed a level crossing 10 minutes ago, the horn could be heard close on four miles away. Compulsory that it sounds its horn, but what's it like for those closer than me?

I used to live backing onto a railway line - didn't notice it after a while. Mind you, both my babies made train noises before they spoke.

Just a way of telling the time, 00:20 - 00:25 every morning.

Cracking a solo.
This is awesome, a cow off!
Someone will have one in the attic, tap dancing on a drum kit all night before long.

Would it still be disrespectful if it was Christian metal?
* To the churchgoers, I mean. The existence of Christian metal is disrespectful to an entire genre of music

Going off topic a litte (it is my thread after all) The village where my eldest daughter lives has a lovely old church. The bells have been chiming there since the 1400hs, and chiming the hour since the late 1700s. A wonderful piece of history, much beloved by the locals.
But lo! Along comes Johnny property developer, and a dozen of so "executive" homes are built on a piece of scrap land. You know the sort, made from Lego, all slightly different but still identikit looking, on a parcel of land barely bigger than the house itself, obligatory 5 series/Jag F Pace parked outside? Anyway, people who like paying top dollar to be crammed in with their like minded systems analysts and middle managers aren't the sort who are tolerant of noise, and thanks to a few complaints by the new lot the environmental health folk have had no choice but to silence the bells. If even a single person complains, and the complaint is found to be genuine, they have to act - the fact the noise was present 600 years before they moved in and is positively welcomed by the other 498 villagers is neither here nor there.
We rock musicians have this problem with venues of long standing. One closed to music was due to a very ornery copper who bought a house next door but one to a pub that had been doing music for decades. It never recovered as a business. Some others where this has been attempted, the moaner has been seen off before paper can be moved. A generally unpleasant way to behave, from both sides...

Quite.
I did not know you had been in my house.
