Starting earlier today, whenever I clear the lock screen on my S22+, the phone makes a sound. "boop-boop" in rapid succession, a high tone then a low one. It doesn't matter whether it's bringing me to the home screen or the last app I had up. No message pops up, nothing new appears in my notifications. I've tried restarting the phone, but no difference. The most recent change to the phone was on Friday, when I set up my new Samsung earbuds in the wearables app. Oh, and last night I also changed the settings in Quick Share to allow "contacts only" instead of "no one". But this new tone started only 3 hours ago or so.

I can't imagine what I did to cause this, but it's kind of annoying. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

UPDATE: It look like it also makes the noise if I go into the camera, then exit it again to the home screen.

If you don't want to hear any system sounds or only certain ones, you can select which to hear or to turn all system sounds off.

None of the 5 things shown will turn off this new sound. However, if I turn the volume off for all system sounds, the new sound becomes a vibration. So it is some kind of system sound, but not one I can turn off from that screen.
