There is a Catholic Church a few hundred yards from my house, ring the bells every hour on the hour
Those bells aren't calling anyone to worship.

What is the origin and purpose of church bells?
The primary purpose of ringing church bells today is to signify the time for worshippers to gather for a church service. Many Anglican, Catholic and Lutheran churches also ring their bell tower bells three times a day (6:00 A.M., noon, and 6:00 P.M.), summoning the faithful to recite the Lord’s Prayer. This tradition was influenced by the Jewish practice of praying three times a day (see Psalm 55:17 and Daniel 6:10). The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that the Lord’s Prayer was prayed three times a day in the early church. However, the Bible makes no mention of this, and it would appear that the Catholic Church was trying to supplant the Amidah of Hebrew tradition. The thrice-daily ringing of church bells also resembles the Islamic tradition of the adhan in which the faithful are called to prayer from a minaret.

The bells are also not saying a prayer in itself. Below is the translation of the Muslim call to prayer.
God is Great! God is Great! God is Great! God is Great!
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
Hurry to the prayer. Hurry to the prayer.
Hurry to salvation. Hurry to salvation.
God is Great! God is Great!
There is no god except the One God.
Since the above is ok to be said over a loud speaker in a city, any Catholic or Christian prayer should be aloud to be said over loud speaker, 5 times a day as well.
