Notification sound but no banner/notification

This was driving me crazy, and I finally figured it out. Posting here for the others before me who have posted on this and (seemingly) never resolved the issue.


For me, it was a Custom Notification I set up for VIPs on my email app!


Settings > Mail > Notifications > (scroll alllll the way down) Customize notifications. I had turned on Alerts, Sounds for VIPs.
