This was NO test. Tests 100% of the time always announce it's a test. This was shorter than normal and had no test verbiage like the last one also didn't have it. It's very strange and there are no weather events.
I have heard a test of the system with only audible tones and no message previous times and years before now. JFTR
I agree with Retaining_H2O; you will know the real ones, and I'm certain they will keep repeating.
I've heard hundreds of tests throughout my life as have others I know. They always indicate that it is a test if it is a test so this is special/strange.

Perhaps part of Mockingbird.
If it wasn't a test then there would be a point to the alert.
If you hear a tone and no message, its literally a test and cannot functionally be anything else.
Think about it for a second... what is the point of anyone hearing an alert tone when there is no accompanying message?
This definitely is not uncommon, I can recall multiple times I've heard a tone and no message.
Maybe the alert is only meant for a certain group of people. People who already know what it means.
Maybe or part of Mockingbird.

Ok... well your experience is obviously limited because it happens.
Tell me why an alert tone would play with no message if it isn't a test.
