Uncertain Sound
Could Uncertain Sound be looking at the church in tribulation when it is not blowing the trumpet?
TRUMPET: THE WORD OF GOD?

SUMMARY CONCLUSION
God appears to associate uncertain sound to the church in tribulation. Two pictures are in view with the sounding of the trumpet: one is that the unsaved watchman blows (false gospel) that destroys the church (judgment). The other is the trumpet believers blow with unsealing of the Bible (revelation of Christ) that allows God to gather the elect out of Babylon.
