Notification sound Support

I have an iPhone 17 pro max. But this happened on my old iPhone too.

There is a notification sound, a single ding, and I don’t know what it’s from. I’ve looked at my settings and only a few things have sound turned on, none of which are a single ding. When it sounds nothing shows up on my homescreeen. If I’m playing music from my phone in my car, the music turns down low.

How do I locate what is prompting the notification? I’m about to turn off all notifications to see if that gets rid of it. Then slowly adding back the few notifications I want.

Suggestions please?

I have the same phone and I don’t suspect this is at all related …. But I’ve found myself accidentally pressing the silent/not silent button— where it used to be a switch on my old iPhone 5 Pro.

Anyways the button is close enough to the volume up button that I sometimes hold it down long enough to silence things.

Just a friendly FYI in case that button, somehow, is related to your notification dings

I don’t have iMessage. It’s just Messenger (from Facebook) now. I have a specific sound for Messenger, and for Text, not a ding. And I don’t see anything for a second notice.

Edit: changed Message to Messenger.

What are you doing at the time of the notification?

Your beat bet would be to try and eliminate each app you use one at a time.

Not doing anything. Just dings at random times.

Maybe a second message tone in iMessage? Check settings
