My wife's JBL Charge 5 is haunted???

A couple of years ago I, my wife and some friends were hiking while camping and had our speaker in our backpack to break out and use once we were at a stopping point at a creek. All of a sudden, we started to hear loud nature sounds. Keep in mind we were in the woods so nature sounds are already there, but these were different bird calls and such.

We pull the speaker out, which was turned off, mind you, and it was playing bird chirps, babbling brook water and other nature sounds.

We were like, huh? I mean thanks for trying to improve our experience autonomously, but wtf?

None of our devices were connected to it. It turned itself on and did this all on its own. I googled this functionality and looked in the manual after we got home and found no mention of this functionality.

So we laugh about it for a couple of years. We use the speaker a bunch at other locations, this never happens again.

Until...

We go back to the same camp ground and hike on the same trail. My friend stops dead and his tracks and yells out "IT'S DOING IT AGAIN!!!" But this time, we were playing music on the speaker and it INTERRUPTED THE MUSIC TO PLAY THE SAME NATURE SOUNDS.

Again, this was not coming form any of our devices. We checked immediately.

So I ask you, What in the paranormal audiotivity is going on here????
