@lduboeuf it should be the standard alert presidential/amber alert sound in my opinion

Ah hmm, you mean it plays a sound already ?
i don't remember how i did it

There is a standard for the tone as covered on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_Broadcast#Public_warning_systems

@sixwheeledbeast yes i meant this when i said standard tone, thank you!

@ChromiumOS-Guy
I've quickmy looked at the code and we have an alert sound defined ( but that is not the one we expect ).
I wonder if you were on silent mode or very low volume level ?

I need now to see if it is easy to bypass any user config

@lduboeuf For me there was never a tone when a CB alert arrived, no matter if I was in silent or not.

Ok, i will look at it , but my TODO list is quite big

@lduboeuf No problem, we can be happy that someone is looking at it. It's your free time that you invest in things like that

interesting, i think i forgot to add that sound setting....
So that should not be hard to add it. The main question i have would be how to bypass the sound volume.

@lduboeuf no this was consistant through the entire Israel/Iran war, and now.

@lduboeuf the hacky way wpuld be to set it to full then back to original when finished
