My iPhone 11 chimes but there is NO notification for it!

My iphone 11 randomly chimes but there is no notification for it!

For the past months, my iphone has randomly begun chiming. It sounds like soft bells but when I check my notification there is nothing new that could possibly correlate with the chime. It’s like a 10 second song that plays. It happens randomly throughout the day. And, then there are days where it won’t chime at all. I have an iPhone 11 running IOS 15.6.1. I’ve tuned off all my notifications on the settings menu. It is very annoying and creepy.

Best Buy’s techs have given up on my problem. They think there is something internally wrong with the iPhone. Can you help me? Thanks…

Hello Loui77,


You'll also want to use the steps below to make sure that your iPhone is all up to date:


1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.
4. If you see more than one software update option available, choose the one that you want to install.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.


Those steps can also be found in this resource: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support Updating should help to further isolate a potential software conflict.


Should that behavior still persist, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Apple Support They'll be in the best position to look into this further.


Take care.

Hi Loui77,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics, then look through the ringtones and text tones, are you able to find one that matches what you hear? Does this coincide with anything in particular such as a message from a particular contact, an email in a certain account, etc.?


If you haven't already, check your app settings using the guidance in Change notification settings on iPhone - Apple Support.


"Change notification settings

Most notification settings can be customized for each app. You can turn app notifications on or off, have notifications play a sound, choose how and where you want app notifications to appear when your device is unlocked, and more.

  1. Go to Settings  > Notifications.
  2. Choose how you want notifications displayed on the Lock Screen:
    • View just the number of notifications: Tap Count.
    • View the notifications grouped into stacks by app: Tap Stack.
    • View the notifications in a list: Tap List.

When notifications arrive, you can change the layout by pinching the notifications on the Lock Screen.

3. To schedule a notification summary, tap Scheduled Summary, then turn on Scheduled Summary. (See schedule a notification summary.)

4. To choose when you want notification previews to appear, tap Show Previews, select an option—Always, When Unlocked, or Never—then tap at the top left.

Previews can include things like text (from Messages and Mail) and invitation details (from Calendar). You can override this setting for individual apps.

5. Tap an app below Notification Style, then turn Allow Notifications on or off.

If you turn on Allow Notifications, choose when you want the notifications delivered—immediately or in the scheduled notification summary—and turn Time Sensitive Notifications on or off.

For many apps, you can also set a notification banner style and turn sounds and badges on or off.

6. Tap Notification Grouping, then choose how you want the notifications grouped:

    • Automatic: The notifications from the app are grouped according to organizing criteria within the app, such as by topic or thread.
    • By App: All the notifications from the app are grouped together.
    • Off: Turn off grouping."


If the same continues and does not coincide with any app settings, it may be best to reach out to Apple Support for a closer look- Get Support.


Kind regards.
