iPhone 6s randomly vibrates

The last two days (October 19 & 20, 2020), my iPhone 6s occasionally starts for no discernable reason vibrating, as if I just received a text or am getting a calendar alarm. However, there or no texts, calls, or alarms set for that time. Sometimes it’ll vibrate once, then again; but sometimes the vibration “notifications of nothing” will keep going every so often for minutes. I’ve powered down and then up, and sometimes that doesn’t work, sometimes it does. Any help appreciated!

Hi. I couldn’t take it anymore last week, so I backed up my phone on my iMac, erased my phone, and restored it from the backup. No problems now. Plus, Siri had not been about to find 80% of my contacts since June, and now it can find them all (so my instructions to Siri to tell my daughter something (to generate a Message) are no longer being met with “I can’t find Tessa in your contacts” even though she’s there! Thanks for reaching out. It seems the backup, erase, and restore solved it.
