Not alarms set by me. I thought I made that clear. I checked for any notifications around that time, nada. I was not sure if it was another case of Apple using users to test their updates or I have some sort of virus. I restarted my phone and hope my wife stays married to me.

Unless you've jailbroken your iPhone, it's not a virus.


Were there any significant weather events in your area last night?


If it happens again, I'd suggest you go to Settings>Notifications and go through the apps to see which ones have sound notifications enabled. We've seen reports in the past of games that do this. I would recommend that, with the exception of things like messages, you turn off sound notifications for everything and see if it happens again. If it doesn't, start turning them back on a few at a tile.
