Religious and incessant other noise - the 19th reminder

What a racket I've come back, to!!! At present, I'm being forced to listen to two of the most rowdy religions anybody can imagine.

The Christian one has been going on since, at least 12.30 pm and the equally unnecessarily loud call to prayer from the mosque in the neighbourhood was just given. Now, after about 10 to 15 minutes, the Imam will start competing with the paster and his noisy congregation on who can be the loudest when he starts leading his congregation in prayers! They all forget that this is a residential area with at least two hospitals near them, i.e. within hearing distance and ironically one being right next to the Christian noise makers.

How long will it take NEMA to act on these noises? After all there's a law to back them up since 2005. There are two alternatives for these pests. Either, they take their noise elsewhere, out of residential areas, or sound proof their premises. Why is it difficult for officialdom to apply this? Could it be corruption in high places? I suspect both.
