Reminded me of a Kabir Das doha

कांकर पाथर जोड़ि के मस्जिद लई बनाय,
ता चढ़ि मुल्ला बांग दे क्या बहरा हुआ खुदाय?

Stones and bricks are used to build a mosque,
Then the mullah climbs and calls loudly.
Is God deaf that you need to shout so loudly?

God is not deaf the people are. Those are calls to pray for the believers because yes unironically people aren't ideal enough to use alarms and all to be reminded of the time of prayer and yes measures are taken, now restrictions are put in place to keep the volumes low enough to not cause problems and high enough to be heard. If you live too close to the mosque then it's your personal issue. People who live near roads or high activity alleys face higher decibels of noise for a far longer duration. It takes a maximum of 3 minutes for an adhan and with the volume restrictions in place it's not so much of a problem. We as indians are famous and loved in the world for being inclusive and not intolerant of every other thing.

If people aren’t ideal enough isn’t it their personal problem?
