What is this noise my S5 keeps making?

When it happens randomly, does anything show up in the Notification Bar?
 
Been a while since I had a Samsung. I am curious if it has something to do with S Voice?
 
Is that a notification tone that you can choose on the phone? It looks like that noise initiates when the arrows are done blinking over the Verizon wireless font in the lower left. Are those things related?
 
You have an option somewhere activated.

I recognize the sound, but have long since forgotten what it was for.

I'm on Verizon also.
 
I've spent a ton of time looking in all the settings.. no notification pops up. I've read other threads telling me to turn of NFC and Wi-Fi notification. Not sure if it has to do with connecting to new cell towers? I've spent time in almost all the settings menus.. Not sure if it has to do with S-Voice, but it doesn't seem like it. I'm wondering if it has to do with Verizon bloat. This is actually my dads phone, so figuring out the culprit may be a little tougher. I've heard it randomly and he says it happens a lot when he leaves the house.
 
Factory reset

That's what I was hoping to avoid.. Seems like it would be such a simple solution... I'm wondering when the S5 ever receives the Lollipop update, if it will go away... but it's a Samsung device and on Verizon.. so that will probably not be for a long time.
