Every so often I get a notification sound. I call it a phantom because there's no icon when I pull the shade down. Also, the sound I'm hearing isn't a system nor downloaded sound. It is also lower than my regular notifications. And finally, it went off even in DND mode. What is this? It doesn't go off in any certain pattern that I can tell. Totally random.

It might be the NFC tone, which will go off if there is something right next to the phone that also has an NFC chip, like a credit card. Does that seem to be an association?

I wish I could. It's totally random. It just happened again and when I pulled the notifications, a Google weather card was there. I can't say I've noticed that before. I checked my cards settings. The notifications are on, but on silent and vibrate. I didn't get a vibration though. Idk...
