Random fire alarm sound

I was just laying in my bed looking at, well, memes on an app called iFunny and then I hear a loud beep, sounding like a fire alarm. So I looked around my house trying to find the sound, with my iPhone in my pocket. I was absolutely baffled because it sounded like the alarm was on me and I didn't know my iPhone 7 could even get that loud. It made no notification and I had no alarm. I have no idea why my phone decided to alert me. If you have any thoughts please help.

Something similar just happened to me on my iPhone X. I was in the messages app. Had notifications coming in through messages and Snapchat. All of sudden, I hear a one to two seconds of an error/firealarm/buzz like sound. No notifications about it or anything. Check my music player and nothing is paused or playing or even listed like it could have been on play for a second.


Sound went away on its own right away. So weird.

I was laying in my bed on 3/3/18 on FaceTime with my friend around 3:46AM. I wake up suddenly to a loud vivrating fire alarm like sound. I’m automtically freaked out. I try everything like swiping out all my apps, turning my volume all the way down, and muting and unmuting myself. Nothing would make it stop. I plug headphones in the that doesn’t seem to help. I eventually hung up FaceTime and text my friend. And now I’m searching for answers.
