Does the First Amendment mean that Muslim calls to prayer can be made with loudspeakers?

This story was also on Brit Hume's program today. It seems kind of idiotic to equate church bells with a chant in a foreign language which is basically an insult to other religions. These start at 5:00 a.m. and are played five times each day.

I have a hard time seeing a distinction between this and the use of bullhorns to "preach" to Mormons attending General Conference. If anything, the preaching is more offensive because it's in English and tells Mormons they're all going to hell.
