I had the opposite problem with an iPhone last week: it called 911 all by itself. I was in a different room so I didn't hear any warnings. Instead, I heard the "It's the police! Open up!" accompanied by banging on the door around midnight. Since I had recently washed the phone (it's supposed to be water-resistant), my theory is that some water got into it and was completing the contact for the side button. There's an iPhone 'feature' that does an emergency SOS if you hold down the side button for about 10 seconds. I've since turned that feature off. Unfortunately the "side button being constantly held down" problem is persisting for me, sending the phone into recovery mode whenever it turns on; I may need to scrap the phone.
