Hello rweis1d,
Let's use the steps below to see if there is a custom text tone set for your contacts:
1. Open the Contacts app and tap a person's name.
2. In the upper-right corner of the person's contact card, tap Edit.
3. Tap Ringtone or Text Tone, then choose a new sound.
You can also find those steps in this resource: Use tones and ringtones with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support That should help further rule out a custom or specific text tone as a contributing factor.
If you have a specific text tone set for your contacts, does that persist if you remove it?
How about if you set a specific text tone for a contact that sends you messages on a regular basis?
Let us know, and we'll keep moving forward based on your results.
