location status in notifcations bar comes on with annoying sound, can't turn it off?

AC Question

up until about a month ago my phone was ok, but then all of a sudden whenever an app (I'm guessing) wants a location, the location status icon appears when it did not before and at the same time my phone makes an ultra-annoying clunking chime which I'll attach if I'm allowed. The location status icon disappears again, & when it re-appears it does it again. It is very random, & very annoying. I have gone over all of my settings several times over & cannot find what is doing this.

Anyone got a clue? I want to keep location services on because I'm scared I'll lose my phone.
