Certainly it is a way of putting forth religion into the general populace. Of course the non-muslim religions could ring their church and synagogue bells on an hourly basis. Eventually there would never be a moment of quiet without being reminded of being religious or non-religious.

The question here is why does there need to be a call via loudspeaker or any means for someone to say their prayers to their supreme being?

In the USA there are some places where ringing church bells is considered an invasion of ones privacy. I can only imagine what those areas would do with five daily calls over a loudspeaker.
