High pitched, ear piercing screeching noise

Hello,

I recently just updated my iPhone 8 to iOS 12.4 like a week ago and today I just had a scary experience. My phone went all crazy when it rang for my alarm to go off and it started making an ear-piercing, high pitched noise, so my alarm sounds or music didn’t play. I had to hard reset my phone and after I did that, everything went back to normal. Is anyone else having this problem yet?

Extremely loud screeching noise on my iphoneX and ipad I experienced a loud, screeching noise coming from my iphoneX and ipad in the middle of the night when neither one was in use. The sound was similar to a smoke alarm. This sound first came from my iphone, i powered down the phone, then waited a few minutes and powered it up. Ten minutes later the same screeching noise was coming from my ipad. I powered down both devises until the morning when I could search the internet for a solution to this problem. I found many people with similar experiences, dating back to the iphone 6, but no answers. FYI - I recently updated the software on both devised to iOS 14.6. This noise could seriously damage the users hearing if they were using earbuds. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem, or if it is being addressed.
