Bells that raise strange questions

Terry Mattingly writes at GetReligion: “‘According to a news release from the Alliance Defense Fund, a whisper is 30 decibels and a normal conversation is about 60 to 70 decibels. Ice cream trucks are allowed to emit up to 70 decibels at a distance of 50 feet under an exemption to the city’s ordinance, but no exemption exists for church bells.’”
