PIxel 3 - Sleep as Android and weird sounds

[PixelAndroid]

Last night I set up an alarm in 'Sleep as Android' on my brand new Pixel 3, and 30 seconds later phone started to make some weird noise. After opening the app this noise disappears. What could it be?

The links you post in threads aren't correct

The link worked fine for me - you have to get rid of the stuff between the / and the beginning of the remainder of the link (begins with capital P).

Oh heck, here it is https://photos.app.goo.gl/PD57erpNeAJcwGff9

Anyway, that's a strange sound but for all I know it could be one of the system sounds.

I tried what you said earlier for a different thread the OP created and it didn't work so I didn't bother with this one.

Did you try the corrected link that I posted? It should work. (I say 'corrected' because I had to prepend the https:// business along with fixing the middle section.)

Sorry I couldn't figure out how to post a link here, that's why I put the space in the middle of the link;

Anyway I ordered the new phone cuz I had a couple more issues with it

My friends said that it might be the sounds from the application...

I wasn't aware that 'Sleep as Android' was a 3rd party application; I assumed it was some feature only available on the Pixel 3 line. Yes, it probably was that 3rd party application responsible for the weird noise.

Yes your way works

I have the exact same issue. I think its the sonar not playing sounds high enough to not hear it. Works great on other phones, don't understand why it doesn't work on Pixel 3

I know that this is old, but no answer has been posted, so I'm posting my guess in case it might help anyone.

I expect that this is from the sonar feature for sleep tracking. On my LG G8 ThinQ, when I went to configure sonar, the volume was set quite low, and it worked fine. When I went to configure someone's Google Pixel 3, the sonar test made high-pitched siren-like sounds. The volume for sonar was at maximum, and very high or very low pitches played too loudly can cause audio distortion, and that's exactly what sonar was doing: playing high pitches at maximum volume. I manually brought down the sonar volume setting to maybe 20%, left and reëntered to make sure that the siren sound didn't happen, tested it to make sure that sonar was detecting something, and we haven't heard the sound since.

My guess is that your sleep tracking was on, set to sonar, with sonar volume too high, and it started after a short delay to determine if you were sleeping, and disabled sonar when you accessed your phone because using your phone is a pretty clear indication that you're not asleep. Going into sonar settings or changing sonar to accelerometer instead might fix it.

I am basing this all off of one case with no retesting, so I apologise if I'm wrong and have wasted your time, but figured that I'd toss the idea out there.
