why does my samsung note 8 starts playing music by itself?

[Android Central Question]

My phone has done this twice already. Both times it happened around 2:30 am and with very low volume. First time I was very tired and i just turned the phone off.
2nd time, i took my time, and went through all apps to see which one was on that could be playing the music. I didn't find any apps running. Again, I had to restart the phone to stop the music from playing.

I had the same thing happen around 2:30a this morning. Had to restart the phone to stop it. Seeking answers.

no chance of ghosts, I suppose?

very odd. I've had other weird things happen with this device, but not that. which service was playing?

forgot to add, you might try blocking mode for certain hours. mine is set to auto block between the late hours. also, you might try airplane mode during those hours. if neither of these work. I would FR and load your apps one by one. you might have gotten a bad app and those are ads playing.
