Rowdy street preachers on Auckland's Queen Street triggered more than 300 noise complaints last year. Â
The group, armed with a microphone, has rallied against abortion, and regularly preaches messages such as "hell is real" and "Jesus saves". Â
But the 25 excessive noise direction notices issued as a result can only legally stop the din for 72 hours. Â

He says one person's raucous party is another person's prolonged misery.Â
