Random unknown music playing and wont stop?

[Android Central Question]

I recently got the Samsung Galaxy J7V. A few times now at random my phone will start playing a random song or ring tone that I've never heard before or can find on my phone. It will start playing and will not stop no matter what I do. It stops at random as well. I close all apps and it continues to play. Just wondering what this could be, any ideas would be great! Thanks

I have had something similar happening to me lately. It's some kind of orchestral music that sounds like it could belong in Lord of the Rings or something. I have a couple apps I swipe to close and the music stops so I think it's actually a rogue ad in the apps.

Tysm I started having this issue I finally realized it was a rouge ad thanks to this comment

Same thing happened to me several nights now. Once at 12 am, 3am, 4 am.....I finally recorded the music to see if I could identify it from an app. It's on nothing I use. Strange. How did y'all fix it?

If you have metro pcs Uninstall metro zone. It goes off and plays music every time they have an update
