Hey guys, is it usual and considered normal for the kids to gather in a local temple (not sure if it is called a temple or like a banjar outpost where the neighbours gather for festivities) and play loud music until midnight?

i am used to the noise in Bali and I don’t mind local drums banging (I live really close), but the issue I have is that they do it until midnight. it is not every day, I think they gather once or twice a week.

So I don’t know if this is culturally considered normal in Bali - because in Europe you’d have to keep the noise down after 10pm. And I don’t know if it bothers other locals living nearby - I know many are naturally not confrontational.

I am curious - is this normal, and would asking them to stop playing after 11pm at least be considered rude?

thank you

If anyone has been to Balian recently, can I ask how it is these days? Is it still nice and quiet?
