Weird Bubble Sound Happens Randomly

every once in a whiel, randomly, my iphone will make a weird bubble sound. it's not the sound that it makes when you send a text message, it's some other sound.


but it happens randomly. i can't figure out what's triggering it. and nothing happens when it makes this sound. the screen doesn't turn back on, i get no notification, no text, no email, no messages from anything, nothing from any of my apps


i have no idea what this random sound is. does anyone have any idea what this is or what it means?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

The developers know about it. The last post in the thread above points to the following:



Here is the response from Life360, we found the culprit.

Hello,


Thank you for your feedback. This noise happens when an error message populates in the application. We have passed your feedback onto the developers to see if they would like to change the noise or remove it completely. Thank you for using Life360.

Apparently there is no notification bubble since the noise is associated with something that is not supposed to happen. It's a bug.


Mystery solved.

i also get a sound i don't have life360 but have skype. however, by what i read mine doesn't fit the sound descriptions it doesn't have any bubble sound to it nor any page turning. i can only describe it by saying that it is a 1 maybe 1.5 sec sound which reminds me of what i hear in between news segments on euronews' satelite tv. and it happens even when skype is uninstalled.


anyone?

Is the bubble sound that you're describing happen at all times of the day or during a specific time frame? I have been hearing what I can only describe as a "stomach gurgling" bubble type sound. Sometimes it's short and happens a few times in a row and other times it's a bit longer and more random. It usually happens at night between 9pm and 5:30am. I do not have Life 360 or skype apps on my phone. Any ideas? I am getting quite frustrated. Thanks for any help you all may be able to give 🙂

Hello, I have noticed the strange trumpet duh-duh followed by a bubble noise that sounds like sonic the hedge hog is drowning over the past few days. I haven't heard this sound before until recently. I've noticed it when using Safari but I cannot be certain what is causing the sound. Anymore information regarding this error message would be appreciated. I've thought about removing any apps that I've installed over the past week, I'll wait to see if anyone else knows more about the strange sound.

Yes, Yes, Kolgreat!! I get the page-turning sound every day at 1:00pm!!! OMG, I've been Googling this for weeks and yours is the first comment I've seen with the same issue. Of course, that doesn't help either one of us because we don't know what it's from. But at least now I know that there isn't a gremlin in my phone reading the newspaper! 😝

(And I do not have Life360. So it is not the bug described above.)
