The Medrash Rabbah in Vayikra relates: R’ Abba Brei, the son of R’ Pappi, and R’ Yehoshua, said in the name of R’ Levi: “Kol yemos hashanah yisroel oskin b’melachtan ub’Rosh Hashanah notlin shofroseihen v’tokin lifnei hakodosh baruch hu. v’hu omed meikisei din l’kisei rachamim umismalei aleihem rachamim -- All the days of the year Bnai Yisroel are engaged in their work. On Rosh Hashanah they take their shofar and they sound it before Hashem.
Hashem gets up from the Chair of Judgment and moves to the Throne of rachamim and is filled with compassion for Bnai Yisroel.”
HaGaon HoRav Shalom Yosef Elyashiv cites the Eglei Tal who writes that every person is able to hear the sound of the shofar throughout the year inside of his heart, as many different Heavenly Voices have been allotted to the world.
