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! 😊

I have the same noise that plays in iMessage too, it’s not a notification & it just randomly happens. My biggest fear is someone hacking into my phone bc why is it that no one knows what the sound is. Could that be a possibility? my heart literally stops when I hear it bc I don’t have an explanation so I worry it’s someone hacking into the phone. Idk.
