Red iPhone 7 started buzzing like smoke alarm

I just had this happen. It was an audio file playing but it wasn't through the music app. I had it happen the other day when using Grindr. I'd used the app the. Locked my phone and put it in my pocket. My guess is that an advert that has audio embedded stated to play. Only instead of playing actual audio, it just did that beeping even though the screen was off.

You sure it wasn’t the “coil wine” the iPhone 7’s have lol
For one, check if there’s any updates. A new version might have already corrected this. Also, cheeky third party apps will have things running in the background to keep them in memory. Try toggling Background App Refresh off with some nefarious looking apps you might have.

Okay the ad is for Jigsaw Puzzle (I did a screen cap just now when it went off) and this certainly isn't a whine or something like that. This is an actual audio file playing.
