What does the Bible say about the purpose of the trumpet in worship?

Answered in 1 source

The trumpet serves to call the assembly to worship and to signify when it is time for action.

In Numbers 10, the two trumpets of silver were made to call the assembly for worship and signify movement. They were blown by the priests and designated specific actions; one trumpet called heads of families, while two trumpets indicated the need to prepare for war. Importantly, an alarm was never sounded when the congregation gathered for worship, reflecting the principle that gathering should represent joy and praise rather than a call to activity or alarm. This mirrors the way worship should invite believers into communion with God, acknowledging His finished work and grace.
