You seem a little slow. Let me try again:

Second, how is the Muslim freedom of religion violated by the government because local people object to the wailing moans coming out of those loudspeakers? It sounds like you think that local determination of noise ordinances are improper.

Third, how does this impact on the government regulation of free speech?

I replied: "If the call is so loud that it violates the city's noise ordinance, then I agree that it should not be broadcast."

I replied: "It violates freedom of religion and speech in that those who oppose based on those types of arguments (it's not my religion arguments) want the city to disallow the call based on those arguments, not on the noise issue."
