Thank you Lakkis.

In true Islamic traditions, a Muazzin (prayer caller) should use his natural voice and say the Azan (prayer call). Anyone who is out of reach of his natural voice should use a watch, pda, cell phone, wall clock, grand-father clock, internet, computer apps etc. to figure out the time of prayer.

These items of time keeping were not available in the time of Muhammad pbuh, so we should use our heads and eyes to keep time for every important aspect of lives.

The same way, Khutba and other sermons should be delivered within the boundary of the building. No noise should leak out, unless it is a mega even in some big stadium.

Let’s not make it Muslim majority vs. minority etc. At least you should have learned something from the noise ordinance / pollution from your host country aka USA.

Peace and salaams.

I’m sure the noise levels at home are more detrimental than Azan, if you could prove that the decibels we receive from the Azan coming from masajid is greater than that generated in our own homes, then you could argue to lower the volume but not on a baseless attitude inclination.

Yes i agree the density of masajid is much greater in our countries but it is not unbearable as we are projecting it here. Muslims living in countries such USA have to other choice but to rely on clocks and calendars and much of the fervour involved in getting called to prayer goes to the wayside because of that. Its just when Azan is sounded and people respond by marching towards the masajid, it has a compeeling effect of others as well. And a good one. I agree it some cases it may be a bit louder than it should be but then there are no cases of buildings being shattered or cracks appearing because of Azan to be noted. We are not talking about Sadr in Karachi where buildings vibrate because pressue hrons from local buses. Please keep the comparison appropriate is what I mean, no exageration.

Noise pollution is only a problem in highly commerical areas because of traffic and other activities. Masjids are normally silent except for 5 times a day and that does not contribute to noise pollution. Lets be realistic here.
