The Internet is boundless Church Bells in Tochimilco, Mexico: An Old Feud "every full hour the large loudspeakers mounted on Tochimilco's town hall broadcast secular tunes such as the canción mixteca, a song on the emigrants' plight. The chiming and broadcasting go on through the night. I found myself waking up at three in the morning to the sound of “Mexicans, at the Cry of War,” the stirring national anthem. The government makes an audible point that it has the right to keep its citizens apprised of important civic events and the time, and does not yield this to the Church. In some ways this is part of the long-standing rivalry between the secular and religious power dating back to at least the colonial times of New Spain, as Mexico was then known (1521–1821). http://www.bobcornwall.com/2011/12/church-bells-in-tochimilco-mexico-old.html Found this using a Google search with the query Mexico churches with loudspeakers http://www.google.com.mx/#hl=en&cp=20&gs_id=8d&xhr=t&q=mexico+churches+with+loudspeakers&pq=mexico+church+loudspeakers&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&safe=off&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=mexico+churches+with+loudspeakers&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=a7f817f2a425b609&biw=1213&bih=548
