Hopefully you didn't, because it's supposed to go off at 3pm today (Sunday)

Loud and surprising. I wasn't expecting it.

[Edit] It was like someone set off a tiny fire alarm in my pocket.

Yep. Also also it did not (at least on my tablet) have a silence button. Just OK. Where it disappeared

So in a real emergency situation. Most will be in situs where they want to shut the f?;?king noise off. And not have the ability to read it.
