Galaxy S7 keeps turning off silent mode

My galaxy S7 has this very annoying bug where it'll turn on sound mode all by itself. Very agitating. Running Android 7.0. I know its not a app doing this. Anybody have any similar issues and any fixes?

Have you made sure you're not hitting the volume rocker at any time? Do you see any other 'random' spikes in volume (that could indicate that maybe the hardware buttons are damaged)?

Honestly, it used to do that. Not anymore. Now at random times the sound will just pop on when I have it on silent. Sometimes it happens when I'm Not even touching the phone

There might be a short on the volume rocker or a loose contact... Try playing media for a long time and see if the change happens. If the change happens to the playing media, the problem is the rocker. If the phone comes out of Silent mode WHILE playing media, then it's unlikely it's the volume buttons.

What sound or notification is getting through?
