How do I turn these off so there is no sound. I have searched the internet and found 10 different ways all which are not options in my Samsung S9. I can’t have these going off when I am sleeping but need my phone and sounds on for a medical app. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

+4I think you could try to go to Settings > Safety & emergency > Wireless emergency alerts and toggle off AMBER alerts. (that is the option on my Pixel and Samsung).
As I am running the latest update of Android update, If that doesn’t work on your S9, you could try this https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-turn-off-amber-alerts-android-4689196
+4In Canada you can't turn off emergency alerts. They are all sent out at the maximum priority level of ‘presidential alert’, which cannot be silenced. Any instructions you find online for how to turn off emergency alerts will only work in the US, where they actually use different alert levels for amber alerts, weather alerts and system tests.
I believe the phone will only vibrate if it's set to do not disturb though.
Thank you both but either one of these work as I don’t have the settings and I can’t use silence on my phone at night and I use it to alert for medical needs
+4Have you checked the settings for do not disturb specifically? My phone, at least, has the option to select app notifications to let through, as well as the ability to allow calls or texts from specific numbers even while in do not disturb.
+4Fortunately, these amber alerts are not a dime a dozen over non-waking hours.😴
