Double/Echo Email Notification Sound (iPhone 6 Plus and iOS 8)

I have iCloud push email on my iPhone 6 Plus. When I get an email notification the sound seems to 'echo'. Another way to explain how it sounds is it sounds just like when I get a notification and my iPad and iPhone are right next to each other and both notifications come in at once. It did not do it with any of my past iPhones.

Here are the steps I've taken to isolate the problem.

Going into mail.app in Notifications and turning off "allow notifications" will turn off all visual notifications, but still allow audio notifications (no doubling of audio notifications)
Turning off just "notification sound" by choosing "none" for each account will result in no audio notifications at all.
Doing a "Reset All Settings" does not correct the problem.

All other notification sounds are fine, it's just when I get an email.

Does anyone have the same issue? Any solution?

Strange! Just updated and thought it was fixed with 8.3. Tone and vibrate when locked but just the banner after unlock, as desired. However, the test Hotmail emails to myself only had subject line completed. No content. Banner displayed "email address", "subject: test" and "This message has no content". However, I just discovered that adding any content to the email in addition to the subject line and I get the 2nd echo tone/vibration with the banner after unlocking. Anyone else experience this?

I ended up doing a factory reset, backup/restore after applying 8.3 (to help resolve an iTunes match issue) and have not had any more double sounds! Fingers crossed it doesn't happen again.
