#1 I can think of certain American towns that could use such a ban; right this very damn minute I am listening to the constant frigging shrieks of roosters in what is supposed to be a tourist oasis.

#3 Their iron fisted cock rules.
Soon to be regulated by state chicken chokers.
Not so different from the US, is it?
Here, you'd have to pay $25 for a permit to raise them, that's the only difference.

#4 Put their perch right up under the ceiling, so they can't stand up on it. If they can't stand up they won't crow.

#5 Artificial lights sometimes confused them, leading to crowing in the middle of the night that disturbed people's sleep.

Ours here crow in the middle of the night, too. I didn't realize that was the reason why. You hear them at 2am sometimes. I'm told that a lot of the chickens here are feral. Maybe the county needs to call in the chicken hunters. Two-buck bounty on a pair of feet, and all the stew you can eat.
