In England it is church bells.
In Austria it is cow bells that generate the complaints.
And an Austrian judge has found that indeed it is not appropriate to leave bells on cows overnight in a field in a place where there are human neighbours to be disturbed.
It is not a total ban, so cows need not get lost when put to graze high in the Alps.
These days however, microchips & GPS are more efficient, much cheaper, - and quieter.
