Samsung A52 5G clanging loud. Why?

[AppleUser]

My three year old. A52 has been fine until today. It was in my jacket pocket and screen off when suddenly CLANG CLANG..... CLANG CLANG...for over five minutes until I unlocked the phone. It was the loudest I've ever heard from a cell phone. There were no abnormal notifications.


How to find out how/why this happened? My A54 did not ever do this and didn't do this while the A52 was clanging.

Emergency or Amber alert SMS?

did you check your notifications? did you check your alarms? or maybe you had something on your calendar setup?

Most likely an amber alert

Good thoughts. No notification. No alarms set. Never occurred before and has not recurred so far. It was painfully loud/.

No Amber Alert message was seen.

Amber Alerts don't make clangs, they make the exact same sound as a tornado warning which threw me off so often I disabled them. I'm not going to pretend I'm Batman at 2AM chasing some rando SUV that looks identical to every other SUV out there, especially if the warning is from three states away. Seriously they need to fix this crap. Or go back to photos on milk cartons.

I mean seriously what are you supposed to do? Chase the criminal down and hope it doesn't escalate to murder? I mean we have cops for a reason.
