They all start at around the same time and finish slightly after each others.
Its like a concert all over town, loud speakers.
When I came back have been used to it while growing up, I found little bit annoying at times, interestingly admitting this, that a microphone is loud from the call to pryer is called apostasy.
I hear them and think they all area competing for Air time, adverting for all to come to their house of Allah and leave everyone else.
When you go inside its little bit difference it is loud but this time there is a touch of voice enhancers to add to the dramatic effect of the reading.
They just got used to it I guess, it must have started sometimes in the fifties, interestingly also no one recalls when it was used nor who was the first to bring it to the houses of god, its never mentioned and when u hear it and see how imams wield it you think the transition was seamless , maybe it was maybe it wasn't and no one knows again, as its brushed off as unimportant. To me I think its the core of the tradition they are trying hard to protect.
