    > Jakarta has a noise problem.
I offer a practical template: <Large city in developing country X> has a noise problem.

When you say "temples", do you mean masjid (mosque)? It is pretty normal anywhere in the Islamic-majority world to sing prayers over a loud speaker a few times a day.

This is an appeal to normality fallacy, just because something is normal doesn't mean it's good, or in this case that it doesn't disrupt sleep.

U.S. cities have noise laws.

I don’t think Tokyo is considered loud.

Yes, temples blasting prayers.
