iPhone 6S Plus keeps on making alert sounds

My iphone 6S Plus keeps on making alert sounds even though there is nothing to notify. No messages, no emails,

nothing on the notification center, no badges.

I have tried turning off notifications, holding the home and the power buttons at the same time...nothing seems to work.

Only the do not disturb button seems to offer some peace of mind.

I had never experienced this before.

Have anybody experienced this same issue? Could this be a bug?

Any suggestions or advice?

Thank you in advance.

P.S. Problem persists even with the do not disturb button on.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.5, null

Usually its the other way around - people don't get notifications that they should. The only advice I have is a restart, forced restart, restore form backup, and finally restore as new - in that order:

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support

javaliga, thank you for your advice.

Prior to getting your message I had contacted Apple. The agent suggested to Erase All Settings, what I did,

and the alerts went away.

So the issue was solved. I wonder if some other iPhone users have experienced this same issue.
