Fox News: Muslim Dearborn mayor weighs in on residents’ complaints about mosque’s call to prayer
Mayor Abdullah Hammoud said its noise levels were ‘not an issue’ despite residents’ complaints at city council meetings
Lindsay Kornick Fox News, November 17, 2025
The city ordinance states that noise in residential areas cannot exceed 55 decibels at night (after 10 p.m.) or 60 decibels during the day (7 a.m. to 10 p.m.). Loudspeakers are prohibited between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
Hammoud also said that most mosques in the city do not make a call to prayer at “Fajr” or dawn and compared the sound to church bells...
...Dearborn resident Andrea Unger, who has lived in the city for 40 years, told Fox News Digital last month that she had recorded the call to prayer for 30 consecutive days and found it consistently exceeded 70 decibels. She said she raised concerns with the police department and city council for the past two years, but the problem continued...
Esser Agaroth(2¢):
Here in Israel, this is issue had been going on since forever. Either the Jews must suffer from the call to prayer in Yaffo, while the Jews in North Tel-Aviv get to say “not in my neighborhood!” or they pump up the volume next to Jewish towns in Judea and Samaria, as if that’ll force them to move.
Note: It was not clear which mosque was being accused at this Council meeting.
But who knows?
