There was no alert coming through my phone at the time of the siren, no notifications, no pop ups...nothing to show why it made that sound

You can receive emergency and government alerts on your iPhone and Apple Watch. In the event of an emergency, here's what you might see:

Alerts issued by your country or region's government
Alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life
Alerts for extreme weather conditions
AMBER alerts (America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response)*

*AMBER alerts aren't available in all countries or regions.
