Residents in Dearborn are complaining about being woken up at 5 in the morning

By the Muslim call to prayer. Because that’s what life in an American city is like now.

Dearborn rules already cover this: loudspeakers are prohibited from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and nighttime residential noise is capped at 55 dB—so a 5:00–5:30 a.m. amplified call to prayer would violate the ordinance, and city officials say police sound tests have already found at least one violation under investigation. In short, this isn’t “just life now”; it’s a noise-code issue that can be enforced neutrally—same standard that would apply to church bells or any amplified sound. If it’s waking people, the practical steps are to log dates/times, capture short phone decibel readings, and file a complaint; you can also ask the mosque to lower volume or use indoor speakers before 7 a.m. (many congregations do). Other cities choose different policies (e.g., Minneapolis explicitly permits pre-dawn broadcasts), but Dearborn’s law is clear and enforceable.
