Q: Ding sounds for no apparent reason
In Settings > Sounds I have sound types chosen for Ringtone, New Voicemail, and Calendar alerts, None for all others.
However, I frequently hear a sound that sounds like Ding for no apparent reason. There was no voicemail, calendar alert, or phone ring.
I think something is causing Ding which is not on the list of sound types - what is it?
The manual's paragraph on Settings > Sounds does not provide great detail.

Sounds for Native apps are controlled in Sounds. Sounds for Apps you install are controlled in Notifications. If you go to Settings/Notifications, you can see what apps are configured to give a sound. If you don't have any recent notifications in the Notification Center, you might have to go through Settings/Notifications and turn off apps with sounds that are on, in a process of elimination. It would have been great if you had a notification in the notification center that had alerted you recently, that would have lead you to the culprit.
