Is it true that a disbeliever is affected by the adhan when he hears it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it true that the adhan, because of the words of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) in it, has an effect on disbelievers, in that when they hear the adhan it affects them, based on the fact that they are created with a disposition for tawhid?

Answer:
It may affect them, and Allah may guide them, yes. But some of them mock the adhan
And when you call to prayer, they take it in ridicule and amusementوَإِذَا نَادَيْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ اتَّخَذُوهَا هُزُوًا وَلَعِبًا
[Al-Ma'idah 5:58]
Yes, but some of them may be affected by the words of the adhan, and his heart may soften, or if he hears the Qur'an, he is also affected and his heart softens, so he becomes a Muslim, yes.
