Random Chime on my iPhone 12 pro

I just got a new iPhone 12 pro, the past few days it has been randomly chiming with no notification at all hours. I have checked notifications in settings and there are none that have a "sound only" setting. Help, it's driving my crazy as the chime lasts a good 15 seconds!

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14

Hello Helenjq,


​Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. We'd definitely want to track down the source of that unexpected sound as well. As we understand it, you're hearing a 15-second chime frequently, correct?


Have you checked the Reminders app yet? It sounds like it would be good to check for any reminders there that could be prompting the sound: Use Reminders on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If everything checks out there, try tapping Settings > Sounds & Haptics, and look under the Tones and Alerts section. Do any of the settings here show a tone that matches the sound you're hearing?


Let us know what you find. Best wishes.
