Help I keep getting a two tone notification sound, but there's nothing in the menu

ElementYaYa said:

I know this is a super old thread but I'm having the same issue with the two tone notification but doesn't show anything on my screen. I don't have Yahoo and it never happens when I'm roaming, I'm only roaming once in a blue moon because I'm disabled and I stay in the same area the majority of the time. Anyone else know why this could be happening? It really is super annoying.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

I am having the same issue with my Note 5 just got. it was fine for about the first few weeks, now it randomly chirps at me, no reason i can think of. i have blocked most but not all app notifications, NFC is off, system volume is muted, tried everything, not roaming.

it is doing it less often than when it started, tells me i may have stopped some of the chirps but something is still allowing it to chirp and i can't figure out what it is. Very annoying. Hated Apple, finally switched back to Android, then this happens? very disruptive. even have the phone set to "Do not disturb", still does it.

use T mobile network, please help

I know this thread is a little old, but I didn't see that the issue was resolved.

It absolutely IS the roaming sound. That triangle by the signal meter is the roaming indicator.

I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

I've been scouring the internet and forums to see if I can find the culprit. I tried a bunch of different things and ever since I tried this last step, I haven't had to hear that stupid sound!

I went into my settings and turned off the "sync" ... (actually I pulled the menu down from the top and turned the sync off that way. I couldn't find how to di it in the actual settings - I have a Galaxy Note 5. I'll add a screen shot to show what I'm talking about). Ever since I turned off the sync I haven't heard it; it's been quite a few hours and before that I was hearing it at least 3-4 x's/hour, at a minimum.



Star, I hope you solved this for me and everyone else. I tried EVERYTHING you mentioned in your post (I don't have yahoo, NFC didn't work, etc. etc.) I suppose I'll know tomorrow.

The beeping noise is the same double-beep that I hear when I have an incoming text while I'm on the phone but the worst of it all is that the person I'm speaking to on the phone when it beeps, hears me cut out for a short second. So people are constantly asking, "what did you say, you cut out".

WORTH NOTING: I also tried one other thing.After going into Settings -> My Device -> Call -> Call Alerts...I unchecked the box for MINUTE MINDER. It falls under "Call Status Tones" along with two other check boxes for "Call Connect Tone" and "Call End Tone". Figured it's worth a shot because I'm at the point where I want a new phone. ANNOYING!!

To turn off the sound from switching from regular service to roaming, from the home screen, hit Menu, then Settings, then click on Mobile Network, then un-check the "Data roaming sound." It should stop making the sound when switching to/from roaming. I hope this helps.

I think i figured out what was causing my phantom audio alert. Many days ago i accidentally deleted hiya app. Phantom alerts stopped. Today i reinstalled hiya app and phantom alerts started again. I deleted hiya app and the phantom alerts stopped. I don't understand why the phantom alerts started though, because i used hiya for many months without problems. The phantom alerts may have started after an update. There were no settings on the hiya app to turn off that phantom alert so i deleted it and will find a different app to block unwanted texts and calls. My boyfriend's phone also has hiya app, so that is probably what is causing his phantom alert also.

The phone makes a little two tone notification, a mid note then a higher note. The LED flashes as if there's a notification. I open the phone, and the menu says I have no new notifications. No texts, emails, etc.

It's really annoying, it's happened about 5 times today. Anybody know how to track down a rogue/ghost notification?
