Which was .?
And sorry to hear that. Anxiety sucks

The Stranger

What was it?

The two sounds I've been woken up by, which caused me to wake into an anxious state, were crying and banging on my door. I've also woken suddenly in a state of alertness, as if under threat, for seemingly no reason. As if there was something wrong, like an intruder being close by, but no one was there.

Amber Alert. Those always make me curl up and plug my ears. And then I still hear it when it's done.

Worst part is it wasn't even a real one. It was a test. So they woke me up and made me panic for no reason at all. :/

Hey, I just had one too! It turned my TV on and scared the heck out of me!
I'd rather know that emergency broadcasts work and all, but still. Not fun

The Stranger

What's an amber alert, btw? Is it some sort of natural disaster warning, like they have for tornadoes and such?

HexMozart88

Oh, you lucky soul. An Amber Alert falls under Emergency Alerts, which is basically when the government tries to tell you something. We get Emergency Alerts whenever we're in COVID lockdown, when there's a tornado warning, etc. An Amber Alert is for a child abduction. But the Emergency Alerts make the most unpleasant noise possible. They come through your phone and your TV and there's no way to shut it off.

@The Stranger Amber alerts are for kidnapped kids and the like, from what I remember.

The Stranger

Thanks! I honestly don't know if we have something similar over here. lol. Then again, it's not as if I even own a TV or anything. I only know about government alerts through other people, or from the rare times I visit a website affiliated with the UK government. Are the emergency alerts where you are like those ones in horror films set in America? Makes a horrible buzzing sound over and over.

HexMozart88

I'm not sure. I don't watch horror films, LOL. You can probably search up the sound, though. I'd post it here, but I know if it starts playing, I WILL have a panic attack.

have you tried turning off *the device* that carries the alert message?
or have they found the way to turn on something remotely?

For me, the most traumatizing sound is the iPhone's default alarm.

Cythera

Not gonna lie...I heard the android one and started crying thinking 'I don't want to get out of bed yet!' Then realized I've been awake for 8 hours already?
It's engrained in my soul to hate that sound.

There actually is a way to turn off amber alerts for your phone, but it involves some tricks. I had to do that with mine, anxiety and chronic illness made it a necessity, not optional.
