Mosque Induced Fatigue Issues.

I realize in advance that this is a sensitive subject but I want to know if it is normal practice to use the external PA systems on mosques to broadcast the Imam's sermon as well as the call to prayer.

I understand that the initial call to prayer is broadcast but I have not noticed other mosques then continue to broadcast the whole sermon. Perhaps it is particular to Ramadan but any information would help.

Our compound and several in the vicinity have 30-60 minute sermons at 9:30 pm and at 5 am which disturb all our rest.

I have been here over 7 years and have never had a problem with this until a new mosque was built next to us recently, the house insulation is useless to prevent this disrupting sleep patterns from its sound system.

Is there anyway of finding our what is normal practice, acceptable sound levels and if it is possible to complain?

Seriously, any constructive advice greatly appreciated.
