Idk, bells sounding the hour are basically like any clock to me (I like clocks so I’m biased). Spoken prayer over a loud speaker is much more invasive imo.
Lived a block away from a Catholic church for several years. Bells did not ring for half an hour, but I do remember them ringing a little longer for some holidays.
I guess other Catholic churches handle it differently?
Might have been a bit of a hyperbole, but I’ve had them go on for at least 15min when I was living near one. And especially when you want to sleep on a Sunday, it feels a lot longer

Sounds like you never lived next to a church that will ring their whole bell Assembly for half an hour at a time every Sunday and holiday
The clocks rings are just a extra service. The main reason churches have bells is too tell everyone to move their asses to church
