Random HomePod Mini Alarms

My HomePod Mini has twice in the last 2 months played a random alarm. There doesn’t seem to be any logic to it’s timing and it stops when I tap the top (which also flashes along with the tone).


It is a repeating 1-2 second tone which I’ve never heard before.


I don’t use the HomePod for any alarm functions (just music and CCTV).


I have a video but this platform will not allow me to upload it.


Any ideas what this might be? Thanks

HomePod mini, 15

GrahamB3 stated "I don’t use the HomePod for any alarm functions". So, the answer "Or just ask it to “delete all alarms”" would'nt apply.


I just web searched "HomePod Mini alarm", because mine just did this. I have no "Alarms" or "Timers" set on this recently purchased item. I'm a bit confused as to what initiated the alarm like noise. Maybe it's a software or hardware malfunction.
