iphone making random notifications sounds

My iphone 16 pro ios 18.3.2 is making random notification sounds i think its the “chord” notification sound so basically what happens is this sound randomly happens and there is no notification on screen. This sound doesn’t stop in silent mode and neither on do not disturb. I have checked all the notification settings of all apps and they are fine. Even if they are not, this sound shouldn’t appear on silent and do not disturb mode. Its driving me crazy because when im stitting in the class and this happens and everybody starts looking at me and its so embarrassing and i cant even control it. I recently updated my phone and they didn’t fix it. Please help

Hello!


First, try a Forced Restart.


Next, check your Alarms. Go into the Clock app, tap on “Alarms” at the bottom, and see if any of them are enabled. I suspect an Alarm, because Alarms bypass DND and Silent Mode.


Also, go to Settings > Notifications. Under “Notification Style” you’ll see a list of all the apps allowed to send you Notifications. See if there are any you don’t recognize, or if there are any third party Alarm Clock apps and the like, which may cause this.


If the above doesn’t help, please reach out to Apple Support:



Have a great day!
