This was an on going problem at the UPC church I grew up in> in the North<
Since it's not often hot and this was the 50's so AC wasn't as normal as it is today....on a warm Sunday evening the church was mighty hot; so they opened the stained glass windows ((and the neighbors in old neighborhoods were often verrry close. I never measured but I doubt it was even 6 ft. There was a narrow sidewalk between the church and the house. My feeble memory remembers it as a duplex. In any event the neighbors would complain and the police would come and ask us to be quieter. I don't recall the legal aspect but the windows weren't open as often.
This was a church of about 50. Piano and organ on the platform, and as I recall , an accordian, a saxaphone and maybe on rare occasions a tamborine. Since this was before the widespread use of mikes and amps, it was not really so loud as it was a case of the neighbors so close.
The next building purchased had more space between it and the neighbors........and they still complained about the noise.
Pentecost and noise, who knew? While I agree that noise does not equate as worship, there is nothing wrong with a little shouting on the hills of glory!
I might even do a little bit of this
