YOU demonstrate it. One of the links I posted was from AP. When you find yourself in quicksand, it’s better to stand still instead of flail around. You sink faster. CYa

Yes under Mayor Eric Adams in 2023 rules were changed that allowed the call to prayer to be broadcast at specific times and at specific volumes.
Here is the guidelines.
Under the new guidance, a mosque or masjid can broadcast the call to prayer every Friday between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM as well as during the sunset prayers every evening during Ramadan — a holy, month-long period of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community observance that arrives in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
The NYPD Community Affairs Bureau and Muslim faith leaders will work collaboratively in every neighborhood with mosques and masjids to communicate the new plans for Adhan to local community leaders and stakeholders. They will work to ensure that any sound device used to broadcast an Adhan is set at appropriate decibel levels and in accordance with the rules of the noise code within the city’s administrative code.
