A couple things to note:
1. Check your “Emergency SOS” settings. It is possible to set it so that holding down those buttons like that initiates a countdown to an emergency call. Depending on the exact settings this may also be accompanies after a few seconds with a loud alarm.
If you are trying to surreptitiously disable biometrics this might be irksome.
2. I think these procedures were different on earlier phones or iOS versions, so test it out.
3. It also works to click the power button rapidly 5 times. That too can be set in the “Emergency SOS” setting to trigger an emergency call so check that before using it.
