What Wikipedia says

Muezzin (Arabic: مُؤَذِّن, romanized: Muʾadhdhin) is the person who proclaims the Adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, traditionally from a mosque's minaret, although it may also be recited elsewhere. The muezzin calls Muslims to the five daily prayers and plays an important role in the religious life of the Muslims.
