You could be on to something... Is anyone else using GSAM?

Yes, I am too. The only notifications I have set are 'Battery over voltage' and 'Battery overheating.'

I'll turn them off, monitor how it goes and report back.

Thanks chaps!

Those were the only two settings I had on also and they were the ones I turned them off yesterday. Also, I'm pretty sure the app had an update yesterday, because I had to go and manually re-launch it after the update. That's what made me think about checking the notification settings. I wonder if part of the update was to fix the notification bug?

I get the random notification sound also, I hate it. It gets on my nerves and im not sure why it keeps happening, at first I was thinking I was missing text messages but that was not it either. Arrrrrgh!!!!

Well, the end of day two with the GSAM notifications turned off and I have a silent phone!

I think we have a result here, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much for the assistance; much appreciated!

Glad this resolved your problem. Sometimes it's just a matter of the process of elimination!

Same here. I had the Mantis tone enabled here and this seems the likely suspect. Although I fail to see at the time how the battery could be overheating or over voltage as I hadn't picked up the phone for some time and it was stone cold.

Yep, i'm happy to report that since then, nary an unexpected cheep or chirp from the phone. GSAM was definitely the culprit.

Man... I see what I get from not visiting more often (life has been... well, life lately), but this is exactly the reason why I do look HERE first for answers. Thanks to ALL! Now I can go crazy in the more usual manner!

Do you have NFC turned on? Is it perhaps near your wallet, with a NFC credit card, or near a NFC tag?

Ah-ha!

I had a mystery notification sound every time I unlocked my phone, even though the unlock sound was turned off.

Your comment made me realise, I have the badge to enter my building in one of the card slots on my phone cover, which must have NFC.

I turned off NFC and it stopped bleeping at me...

Good catch!

I have a samsung galaxy S4 and I am having the same issue. I have tried everything on this thread and others research- nothing seems to be working. I never had the GSAM battery app installed, so that's not it for me.

Anyone else with the same issue

I was driven up the wall by this.

turned out it was my oyster card (London underground NFC card). The phone was in a leather wallet style case, which had a slot to hold credit cards ( hence oyster card) .

So open case, no problem. Fold it back (eg in sat navigation holder in car) it is ALMOST close enough to trigger NFC "boing" .... go over a very small bump .... It moves closer, "boing". Take it , no sounds, fold back case to investigate .... "boing" ... clue was in comment above ... many thanks

Just for what it's worth... another possibility for anyone who has the random notification sound. Took me about 2 months to figure mine out, because there was no rhyme or reason to when it happened... except it only happened when I was in the car.

In my case, it was when driving through a "no Verizon zone" (which admittedly there are very few of) and it was my phone notifying me that it was now roaming on a different network.
