What does it mean when it says, "Sound played on Jeanette's phone at 3:35am.." But I know that I didn't use it... then it never says that the device was 'found'. So... do you have to consciously play sounds, and it emails to alert you of that as well?

It means that someone has used Find my phone to play a sound on the phone (presumably to help locate it). Once the command has been given you will receive the email and a pinging will be heard from the phone, the only way to cancel this is from the phone itself.
