Looks like the OP is complaining about something non-existent. I wonder if he's an atheist or some religious denomination. Christians like to complain about Atheists and Muslims so I wouldn't be surprised if Christian. Add complaining about non-existent things to that list.
Christians like to complain about Atheists and Muslims?
Oh, I see.
But Atheists don't complain about Christians.
Why would you expect them to? Muslim calls to prayer are rare. Atheists are pretty rare. Atheists complaining about prevalent religions making religion-type noises is extremely rare. You are really stretching here.
FWIW, a decade ago, atheists in Oslo applied for - and got - an exemption from local noise ordinances to play a tape saying "God does not exist" at the same volume and frequency as the Muslim call to prayer.
I find that wailing obnoxious and irritating....and I would be furious if I was forced to listen to it 5 times a day. The fact that it is a religious chant is irrelevant.
If it was in my neighborhood.....I would have to set up my own loudspeakers, on top of my house, in self defense.....and blast out Alan Thicke's "Blurred Lines", in unison, 5 times a day.....to remind me it is time to get my "twerk" on.
Seriously.....being forced to listed to anything..... religious chanting, rock, jazz, rap, even The Star Spangled Banner...... blasted over loud speakers.....five time a day.....everyday......is disturbing the peace and should not be allowed.

Derpa, derpa, lalalala crap?
How phenomenally offensive, not to mention ignorant. In Egypt, no less! It's like a Muslim tourist complaining about that Our Father, who art in heaven "crap" in the US. You'd have a few choice words to say about that.

Do atheists complain about the Muslim call to prayer in cities in America?
