i think in this particular case it’s not much different, but generally the muezzin calls five times each day plus a sixth bonus time on fridays for the jumu’ah. this can be even more annoying than the christian stupid sunday morning bell, when everyone is still hungover; that is, if they actually do it from the minaret, but they can also use messengers, radio, etc.
I lived in Oxford for a few years and, if anything, I became rather fond of all the bell ringing. But I can see why someone might have the opposite reaction.
The jesuit school by my work does ring them at least thrice a day. They are kinda nice though. I agree nobody needs public alarms now we have clocks in our pockets though.
Uncommon around me and I’m in a pretty pluralistic area with lots of churches, temples, mosques, etc within a couple miles. The only one I get is the alert system test on the same day and hour once a month. I think beyond a certain decibel would violate public noise ordinances.
More than half of US states don’t have a single tenant or renter’s union available.
My previous apartment complex was bought out by BlackStone Inc. and within the next year began posting everybody’s eviction notices on the front of their mailboxes, which all mailboxes are in a shared area. Dozens of people were evicted due to failure to pay while I waited out my lease, it’s not a realistic option to not pay for many people.

Some churches ring three times a day for daily prayer. Dunno how common that is in the US.

To be fair those are clock bells and not really about religion.

ETA: they ring hourly. I checked today.

If the church bell is too loud your windows suck. Or your bell is not compliant.
A lot of our windows do suck dude. Landlords are fucking parasites who don’t invest in good windows.
That’s not up to code.

Literally don’t pay rent. If you are not sure about how much rent you can dock ask your local Tenants Union. Make sure to stay in the legal bounds.

Believe it or not, infractions happen every day

I don’t live there. They asked for an example.

Where I use to live the church bells would ring every hour and the amount of times it rang represented what time it was.
yeah, but that’s not for religious reasons, just old timey time keeping from back when nobody had a personal clock.
they also ring in emergencies (eg. fire) in some regions.
You get used to it, I know from experience. I found it easier than getting used to Sunday church bells because it’s more frequent.
