at noons for frequency???
 
I need your quick answers. Is is possible to use at noons to express frequency?
noon is uncountable so I�m confused.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, dear I have never seen such construction, at noon for me indicates time... For frequency we have in the afternons....

No, a native speaker would never say that, although the construction is logical. We would say "every day at noon".
 
However, noon is countable. Each week has seven noons and seven midnights.
