Tried a white noise app and it woke up my whole building

Last night I downloaded this free white noise app to help me sleep, but I accidentally hit the 'max volume' button right before I put my phone down. It blasted a static roar through my cheap speaker that sounded like a jet engine in my bedroom. My neighbors in the apartment next door actually knocked on my wall thinking something exploded. I learned to triple-check my volume slider before I start any sleep sounds. Has anyone else had a tech mishap that backfired right at bedtime?

Mine turned into a hurricane warning at 3 AM.

And then you're wide awake thinking the apocalypse is here, not exactly relaxing.

A hurricane warning at 3 AM sounds like something out of a nightmare, not a relaxation tool. I would have jumped out of bed and started looking for the nearest shelter. That app must have some serious audio tricks to switch from white noise to an emergency alert like that.
