Abstract
This study aims to assess the impact of high-intensity Adhaan sound created by amplifiers on children playing at fields adjacent to mosques in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Adhaan, the Islamic call to prayer, is an important religious practice and is commonly broadcasted through loudspeakers in mosques. However, the use of amplifiers and the increasing volume levels have raised concerns about potential adverse effects on individuals residing or engaging in activities near the mosques. This study focuses specifically on children playing at fields adjacent to mosques and investigates the impact of high-intensity Adhaan sound on their well-being and quality of life.
The study employed a mixed-methods approach, including sound level measurements and surveys. Sound level measurements were conducted at various locations near the selected mosques to determine the intensity of Adhaan sound. Simultaneously, surveys were administered to parents or guardians of children playing at the fields adjacent to the mosques to collect data on the perceived impact of Adhaan sound on the children's physical and psychological well-being.
