Question Mysterious noise

[deelynde]

Recently my note 20+ has started making a cathedral bell noise and I have no idea where it's coming from. When I check for a notification there is nothing there. Don't know where to check next. Any suggestions?

Welcome to Android Central! Do you have a wallet-style case that has any credit cards in contact with the back of the phone? If so, then try removing the cards and see if the tone goes away.

No wallet style case. Just happened again about 2 min ago and still no notification. Last notification was at 8:38am.

Is it like a 3-note chime? If so, I recall that being associated with apps from certain local NBC affiliates.

No just one low pitch cathedral chime (ding)

Welcome to AC!
Can look in settings>notifications see what recently came through when you hear it or download Nice catch from the galaxy store to see toast notifications but u would have to review it after one day.
Another thing go into safe mode which disables all 3rd party apps to rule them causing it

Do you have an outdoor security camera? Google Home on my Pixel Tablet gives a low chime when my Nest Camera detects someone outside, but that also shows up as a notification.

I did that and nothing came through. Will try downloading Nice. Also when I text my kids I get a text back that’s a download file notification. But nothing ever downloads, says file too big.

Did that and there's nothing there at the time it goes off. It's definitely a mystery lol. Will try nice catch. Thanks for the info

Welcome, keep us posted.

Welcome, keep us posted.

So I downloaded Nice Catch. The sound just happened and went to Nice Catch and there has been no activity for an hour (on any setting). Went to settings, to notification history and nothing. I guess I’ll call Samsung and see if they have any idea.

Did you already try Safe Mode? This can at least tell you if the tone is coming from a system/preinstalled app vs something you installed.

How long have you had Nice catch on your device? It needs at least 24hrs and toggle those menus on and you would have to tap on sound history to see what it caught

I have them all toggled on and downloaded it about 5 hours ago. I’ll give it more time. Thank you

Just checking in any luck?

Actually I did finally figure it out. I went through my apps to see if I had downloaded something recently and I ran across a Bible app. That had to be it because of the cathedral dong. So read up on it and it said it would send a reminder morning, noon and night to remind you to read the Bible. Uninstalled it and no more noise. Thanks for checking.

Glad to hear that
