The Worshippers of Christ the Warrior King Church in Massillon, Ohio, USA is just one of many. But people who live nearby the church have complained to the city because of the noise.
"Sunday morning is God's day of worship," the Reverend Troy Sowell said. "I'm not going to tell this congregation, 'You're being too loud.'" Sowell says he is open to finding a way to make everyone happy, but is unwilling to stop using his speakers.
"I'm in my house with the door shut," said neighbor Reginald Winters, but the windows of his house still shake.

The church closed its doors and windows, but the complaints have continued.
Sowell said light bulbs have been stolen from the church and beer bottles have been placed under the tires of members' cars.
Police Chief Robert Williams, a minister himself, is still trying to find a solution that pleases everyone.

美國俄亥俄州馬西隆市的基督君王敬拜者教會只是鎮上眾多教會之一，但是教會附近的鄰居卻向市政府抱怨它製造的噪音。
「星期天是敬拜上帝的日子，」特洛伊．索維爾牧師表示︰「我不打算跟教眾說『你們太吵了』。」索維爾表示他對尋求人人滿意的解決方案持開放的態度，但是不願意停止使用麥克風。
鄰居雷金諾．溫特爾表示︰「我在家裡關起門來，」但家裡的門窗還是會搖晃。
雖然教會已關上門窗，鄰居還是不斷抱怨。
索維爾表示，教會有燈泡被偷的情況，還有人把啤酒瓶放在教眾的車輪胎下。
身為牧師的警長羅伯特．威廉斯還在尋求讓大家開心的解決之道。

When people talk about fast delivery or logistics, most assume these are modern inventions. However, the need to convey messages and ship goods efficiently existed in ancient China. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the governments implemented official systems to deliver orders and military information across long distances. Later, this system, known as yizhan, reached its peak during the Tang period and remained crucial to Chinese society for centuries.
