"Der Lärm schützt uns vor peinlichem Nachdenken,
er zerstreut ängstliche Träume,
er versichert uns, dass wir ja alle zusammen seien und ein solches Getöse veranlassen, dass niemand es wagt, uns anzugreifen..."

Many expatriates don't like the constant noise of church- and cowbells in Switzerland.

Kirchenglocken.ch cited this interesting quote:

Note to anyone thinking of moving to Switzerland: When you look for an apartment ALWAYS check the location of the nearest church and make sure you wait around long enough to hear the bells - ask yourself if that is a volume you could tolerate.
