Pixel making siren sound

[Android Central Question]

My pixel 3xl has been making a short siren noise at random times. This has been going on since September 2021. Nothing appears in my notification history that corresponds to the time the sound happens. I have not downloaded any new apps that recently that would cause. I switched to the pixel 6 this past weekend hoping the problem would be going but now my new phone is doing this as well. Anyone having this issue or have any ideas to resolve this. I cannot find a file for this sound anywhere on my phone as well.

Emergency Alert testing?

Welcome to Android Central! Also, see if it goes away if you turn off NFC.

It's doing this daily. Not emergency alert testing. NFC is turned off. I haven't done safe mode yet because this happens at random times daily and I so not want to have my phone is safe mode all day. I did not download any new apps before this started happening. All apps are up to date and I have done all security updates. My antivirus and malware apps are not detecting any issues.

NFC is turned off.

Happens daily at completely random times.

I’m not sure that you can proceed further without trying Safe Mode, inconvenient though that would be.

It might be helpful to actually hear the sound, although I realize it might be hard to catch it since it seems so random.
