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.
Where I use to live the church bells would ring every hour and the amount of times it rang represented what time it was.
yeah, but that's not for religious reasons, just old timey time keeping from back when nobody had a personal clock.
they also ring in emergencies (eg. fire) in some regions.
