iPhone Making Random Noise in iMessage with Sound Off

Every once in a while, i will be in iMessage and will get a low toned “doo-doon” sound come from my phone despite my phone being on mute. It’s usually when I enter a chat with someone or go into or out of the information page. This only started with ios16 launch a few months ago. Anyone experience this or know what it is?

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16

I totally forgot to post when I figured out how to fix it! Go to your settings, then messages, then toggle off the “raise to listen” option. When you raise your phone, it’s attempting to start recording a voice message to insert into the text. Those steps completely solved the issue. Goodluck! 😊

Seems like there’s a wave of Thai happening in the last month or so. Mine just started doing it today. Same way, in the messages app almost rite as I send the message/after I hit send. IB heard it 3 times already and it’s a DUUDUU kinda deep sound. My phone is on silent, i dont use location stuff or share it in messages. So, let’s try to figure out what we all have in common in our messages app. I’m on iPhone 14pro1tb. I have old message si haven’t deleted, and I always leave the app open. I just restarted my phone for the first time in maybe a month.

I too have tried to find the words to explain this and everyone just thinks I’m nuts or thinks I’m stupid and talking about my incoming text tone 😭 I was wondering if it’s telling you that you are both looking at the chat? That’s my only guess. I’m so glad I finally googled and found this forum. I was about to give up because everything was about turning off your text tone. We need an answer!

After reading all the comments, this is exactly what is happening to my phone. The first time it happened my phone screen went blank. It just happened back to back, but the screen didn't go blank this time. I keep my phone on silent and I am still hearing this noise. I cannot find an iPhone alert sound that sounds even remotely close to the noise my phone makes. This only started with the new update.
