Performing fardh salaah while azaan is being called out

Q: If you are in a hurry, can you pray your fardh while the azaan is happening or do you have to wait for the azaan to finish, and then pray your fardh?

A: Once the namaaz time enters you may commence your namaaz. You do not have to wait for the azaan to complete.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
