In his introduction to the Koren siddur, Eliyahu Koren claims:

A window thou shalt make to the ark,” says God to Noah, and our sages took this also to mean that the correct pronunciation of the words is an embellishment to the prayers.

Does anyone know to which "sages" he is referring to and where I can find this opinion?

    From the Midrash Tanchuma Buber > AND YOU ARE TO MAKE A WINDOW (for enlightenment) The Hebrew word for WINDOW here (tsohar) can also carry the connotation of enlightenment And look in Baal Shem Tov, Noach 15:1 which connects teivah to the words of prayer
