Can a fatwa mute sound horegs?

Hello reader,

Consider yourself fortunate if you’ve never been in the immediate vicinity of a sound horeg. If you have, please get your ears checked.

So what exactly is it, and why are people fighting to preserve it as a tradition? In a land where many have to put up with noise pollution caused by the few, could a religious edict finally mute this deafening phenomenon?

Turn the dial to 11. Let’s go.

Cheers,

Andra
