The answer

If a person closes a window so as not to hear the sound of the , then if he has taken the means to wake up for prayer, there is no blame upon him. However, if he sleeps without having taken these means, he is exposed to sin. Watching unlawful things is always forbidden, and it becomes more reprehensible when hearing the remembrance of Allah, such as the Adhan and the recitation of the Qur'an, as this indicates turning away and hardness of heart. The servant must fear Allah and guard his hearing and sight, for Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - all of those will be questioned."
