i think in this particular case it's not much different, but generally the muezzin calls five times each day plus a sixth bonus time on fridays for the jumu'ah. this can be even more annoying than the christian stupid sunday morning bell, when everyone is still hungover; that is, if they actually do it from the minaret, but they can also use messengers, radio, etc.
Some churches ring three times a day for daily prayer. Dunno how common that is in the US.
Uncommon around me and I'm in a pretty pluralistic area with lots of churches, temples, mosques, etc within a couple miles. The only one I get is the alert system test on the same day and hour once a month. I think beyond a certain decibel would violate public noise ordinances.
