Last night in my area we had a bad storm when we were sleeping, and because I keep my phone in DND mode at night I didn't receive any sort of audible alert despite having the "Override Do Not Disturb" checked.

This is because the Wireless Alert technically doesn't have a notification sound, it has some other type of sound (not media either) that is being blocked by DND.

You can't adjust these notification settings, as the OS prohibits you from changing Wireless Emergency Alert settings.

This is potentially a big issue - I don't want to miss and incoming Tornado alert because my phone is on DND mode. Google needs to sort this out.

Can also vouch for this. Happened to me just 30 minutes ago! Pixel 6 on DND. No sound whatsoever but notification sitting right there in my notifications

Maybe you want to report this in the Android bug tracker, if it has not been reported already?

The other day I got one of these for an amber alert but I ignored it and kept on working because they keep sending test alerts at random times but often enough, including while I'm asleep, for it to become a boy who cried wolf issue.

I have never used dnd so I can't confirm this on my device though.

You have to enable it...

Do not Disturb > Apps > Wireless Emergency Alerts

I had already done that. The notification was there in the morning with DND on, but it still didn't make any sound.

Could this be responsible for why so many users in Turkey weren't alerted to the earthquake?
