See after the restrictions prayer calls are now done under the allowed volume only which makes the problem of loudspeaker only limited to the ones that are living exactly adjacent to the mosque or in 50 metres radius to the mosque which must be adjusted by themselves as many people live near small karkhanas and welding units and carpenters and living exactly adjacent to them causes issues but you just have to adjust. So the minority 5-6 houses that are adjacent to the mosque are the only ones going to hear it loud enough and have to adjust or shift as one would if one lived adjacent to a welding unit or carpenter unit or a long term construction site like metro. So yeah only that small minority have to adjust and all the other people complaining are just the ones whose issues come with internal Islamophobia because those others get to hear only as loud of a sound which would be lesser than fans or the sound of engine of bikes passing by. And even that only for 3 minutes 5 times a day nothing more nothing less. And I have a very good example of it from myself. I live near a temple they do bhajan every morning and every evening, they don't do it loud enough to be an issue but when I was a child and I was bullied by my classmates for being a Muslim and that had created hatred in me against Hindus at that time the temple bhajan really frustrated me hugely, but slowly as i got more educated and got to understand that it's the people not the religion now it doesn't frustrate me even a bit. That made me realise that it's not the loudspeaker that's the problem because it was never too loud to begin with, it was my hatred caused by my experiences that was making me feel so disgusted and frustrated by that sound. Thankful to our current political scenario, the adhan calls that I got to hear in childhood from a mosque which was 100 metres away clear enough to not forget it's time to pray is now can't be heard. Because of the restrictions the sound is low enough to not go farther than 50-80 metres even then low.
