I heard loud tornado warp

Later this evening, they were loud sirens going off in the neighborhood, telling us to take cover from a tornado. My phone, however, did not make any noise did not alert me in any way how do I change this in the settings so that I get a notice?

Alert Tone for the Weather App Why is the alert tone so quiet and different now? Is there any way to change it back to the old sound? We are in a high-risk area of tornadoes, which we experienced tonight. We all noticed that our updated iPhones did not have the usual alert alarm tone and were not loud at all. I have my alerts turned on, and my volume was maxed out, and yet it only beeped for 3 seconds and then automatically cut off. This is so concerning!

Sounds of some app in IOS17 and IpadOS17 Since I installed iOS 17 on my iPhone (and iPad), the notification sounds of important (for me) apps like Hik-Connect (Cameras) and Eufy Doorbell (Camera) are almost inaudible on my phone, especially when I'm sleeping. In IOS16 and before I did hear clear warning sounds. Now a nighttime intruder can go undisturbed around my home, which makes me feel uncomfortable. Is anyone else dealing with this too?

You will need to check with your local authorities that provide emergency notifications that would offer you with warnings on pending weather-related issues in your area. Some of these authorities offer a means to sign up for getting such warning via your phone.
