I'm not surprised. No one ever seems to mention it anywhere. Unfortunately this is a quirk with "stock" Android (like) phones. Not always but often enough. I forgot to add that your only other option is vibrate. Vibrate or Do Not Disturb mode.
I find myself missing the phones that have that mode. It's really underrated and that's one of my favorite things about iPhones. That switch on the side, silence but yet your alarms still go off and you can play media without changing the mode.
