mine didn't make any noise at all. Mine, neither. I checked and I have test alerts turned off. Real emergency alerts are on.

There was speaking?
I am glad I set myself the reminder because I went to the grocery store at just the time it would happen. I got the tone and the message. I was able to acknowledge and stop the sound, but other people had theirs just going off.
When I got to the grocery store the bus from a local retirement home was there. Most of the people in the store were elderly. Maybe they couldn’t hear the tone and that is why they didn’t react? 🤔

Does this feed like an elementary school fire drill, to anyone, besides me? Valuable, but lame at the same time? And way less traumatic than an active shooter drill. I have heard that this test sound will activate the nano-particles that were injected into us as the Covid vaccine. Everyone who has been vaccinated will suffer greatly. They will also shed those nano-particles, so if you are not vaccinated you shouldn’t be anywhere near them. And the sound carries radiation that will seep into you, so you should lock your phone in a secure place and go to an empty park and be outside. Today is day that they are all proven right!! It's true. I have gotten multiple Covid vaccines and booster shots. I was in the middle of my scheduled examination with my proctologist when the test warning began. The test warning was quite loud in my doctor's office and it startled my doctor. He pulled his index finger out and all of a sudden nano-particles were shooting in the air like confetti from my butt. It was quite embarrassing.

Sadly, there are people that believe weird and impossible stuff. Exhibit A from a day or so ago. A customer has an old flip phone.
Customer: “I dropped and broke this.”
Me: “Well, that’s an old phone and we don’t repair models that old anymore. You’d need to upgrade to a smart phone.”
Customer: “No! The government is downloading stem cells through smart phones to control our thoughts!”notalwaysright.com/newest/page/3/

I set an alarm on my phone too. But I'm easily distracted, if there's something else going on. So My alarm will go off and then I'll be startled a few mins later, followed by realizing that I knew it was going to happen. I hope everything goes well, when they test it, so we can feed assured and don't have to do it again real soon (practice). However, if it doesn't go well, I'd rather find out during a practice run, then find out something went wrong, during a real emergency. You must be hungry. In replies 20 and 21, you wrote "feed" instead of 'feel'. I was both hungry and tired. I didn't catch the spelling error until I just barely saw it now. Haha. I'm hungry and tired now, too. I stopped and got a bean and cheese burrito for dinner at Taco Time, with extra cheese. All I can taste is the hot spices. I didn't even eat 1/3 of it. It's too hot. No flavor. I don't enjoy that. And I haven't slept in the last 2 days, stressing over Disneyland details. I want to do everything correctly, both before and during the vaca. I don't want to give anyone a reason to be unhappy with me. But I rarely travel further than DD2's house, which is 40 minutes away from mine (a suburb of my city) and that doesn't require much packing or planning. I just go and come home. Wanna come and fix me dinner? Are you a better cook than NNP? (Just checking! 😉) Sorry about the spelling errors. (Hides head)

Boh mine an DD2's phones blared and showed a message. Then, when I got home this evening, my old Galaxy S7 phone, that hasn't had a SIM card in it, or any calls or texts made to, or from it, in years, also had the emergency Alert message on it. I think I'm covered, in an emergency. Sorry, some of you aren't. Tennesseer, I'd say, that was an error on his part, not yours. I bet worse has happened there. Hahaha (I get your discomfort though.)

Didn't really happen. I was napping when the warnings went off yesterday. Had thyme4change not mentioned nano-particles in an earlier post, I wouldn't have had any good material to make a story up.

Saw the below on Facebook. Would have been a good way to find burner phone in prison. How many burner #phones were found in prison during the nationwide phone #alert?

Too bad if you are in a place that requires quiet like church or a hospital waiting. Shutting the sound off on the cell phone did not stop it.

Quiet in waiting rooms is appreciated, not required. Everyone in one should be in the same boat wanting their phone and understanding the test is non-optional.

I was able to minimize the sound by acknowledging it right away. I think I just hit the volume down button

It was massively advertised that it was going to happen? Why would anyone be annoyed about it? And I say that as someone who spends her day in a building with 400 people and at least 250 cell phones that is supposed to have a decorum.

I skimmed over the ad. I'm so glad I didn't have earbuds in at the time.
