Random notification tone, no notification

I keep hearing the tri tone notification sound but there is no notification, how can I stop this?
I've turned all notifications off apart from a few that I need and none of those have the tri tone tone but I'm still hearing this tone all the time, anyone have any ideas please?

My IPHONE 5 ios 8.1.3 had the same problem. I kept hearing the xylophone ring tone that I had attached to only one of the people in my contact list. So I changed the ring tone of that person and have not had the problem since. Good luck to all. Hope this helps.

Random notifications

my ipad 1 randomly gives notification sound (that bling like sound).. cannot find what is causing it ...i have turned off notifications..what to do?

I thought I was going out of my mind. So, it's not just happening to me then? My problem is that it happens with a person who I removed from my contacts!! Why am I getting this "*** is online" "*** went offline" messages at all? The fact that they are sent almost at the same time and about every 3-4 minutes is starting to annoy me.

Random notification beep/vibrate

My beloved iPhone randomly beeps/vibrates as if notifying me of new email, on average once every 15 minutes or so. It even does so when I'm on the phone. Oh, there it goes now!
Anyone experience this?
cee

It usually does this when you receive a text, voicemail, or email.... but you're saying that after the notification alert when you look at your phone you don't have any text, email, or VM?
Could you be accidentally actuating the ringer switch on the side causing to vibrate momentarily??

Random notification on IOS 6

Since i've updated to IOS 6 my phone now buzzes every few minutes. Nothing shows up in Notifications. It seems to correspond to emails, I turned email notification off completely and it still buzzes. Is there a redundant notification option for IOS6 that I am missing? Please help, very annoying.

There is much more fine grained support for notifications of e-mails now. It's easy to leave the sound on, but turn off the display in the notification center.
Go into Settings>Notifications>Mail and drill down into each account you have set up. Check them carefully... Don't forget totheck the notifications for VIPs if you have any set up.

Random 3-tone bell sound like in an airplane cabin

Just got a new iMac today, and every 5-20 minutes it randomly makes a 3 tone bell sound, like you would hear in an airplane cabin or something. It's not coming from any webpages I'm on. What's causing this noise?

Hi Matt
That should not be happing, three tones normally indicates a problem with the RAM.
You might run the Apple Hardware Test to test the RAM, but to be honest I would take it back.

Keep in mind that you have 15 days to return an off the shelf iMac for a full refund no question asked.

Random Keypad Tone During Calls

Over the last month or two I have noticed that while making or recievong calls at random points during the call I will hear a long loud tone very reminiscent of what the keypad sounds like, or when someone accidently hits a key on a regular phone during a conversation. I do not have the minute timer selected so I don't think it is from that. I am at a loss as to what it could be. Does anyone have any ideas or how I can fix it its highly annoying. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

No as I specified in my original post the minute alert is shut off. Also the touchscreen is black and inert while on the phone so I don't think its my cheek. I also make sure not to touch any of the physical buttons on the phone. I may take it into a verizon store and see what they can do since I have been having other issues especially since the recent software update. Thanks for all of your replies though.

Random beeps/tones while talking on iPhone (3Gs)?

Has anyone else noticed the iPhone 3Gs (my model) making random beeps or tones while talking? It appears to be when your wireless is enabled on the phone. As soon as wireless is disabled, these beeps during a phone call go away. This issue appeared during iOS 6.0.1 update.
The beeps occur at any time and are not part of a minute beep, notificiation beep, or any other type of iOS function. The phone was fully restored to factory and apps were added. The method to "get rid" of the beeps is to disable wifi and it appears to dissapear.
Anyone at Apple care to shed light on their Q/A process?

My girlfriend's iphone 4s does this to me all the time. Not only do I hear it on my iphone 5, but also my house phone. I'm guessing it's her phone or Sprint.

PAP2T outgoing Random Touch Tones

Wanted to see if anyone knows if Linksys is going to update the firmware for this problem, I saw that other linksys adapters have an upgrade for this problem....
When my wife is talking on the phone, her voice seems to trigger the PAP2T to generate touch tones that the other party hears. She is not accidentally pushing the buttons. I found other forums refer to this as "talk-off", claiming that the PAP2T DTMF detecter does not take a long enough sample and causes a DTMF to be generated at the other end of the line. Typically associated with female voices.
I saw other versions of Linksys adapters have had software upgrades to allow for longer sampling times to help eliminate this problem.
I have already tried taking the FXS gains down to -10db, but did not help. Any other work arounds or does Linksys need to get in gear and cut/paste the fix from the other adapters??

I believe you are confusing DTMF Tx Mode with DTMF TX Method. They added the DTMF TX Mode in one of v5 firmware versions. Here is what an earlier edition of the ATA Administration Guide says about DTMF Tx Mode (Looks like Linksys/Cisco edited it out of the current edition of the ATA Administration Guide):
DTMF Detection Tx Mode is available for SIP information and AVT . Options are: Strict or Normal. The default is Strict for which the following are true:
•A DTMF digit requires an extra hold time after detection.
•The DTMF level threshold is raised to -20 dBm.
•The minimum and maximum duration thresholds are:
• strict mode for AVT: 70 ms
• normal mode for AVT: 40 ms
• strict mode for SIP info: 90 ms
• normal mode for SIP info: 50 ms

Random notificaton sound without a notification, any ideas? I have tried almost everything.

Random notification sound without a notification, any ideas? I have tried almost everything.

Thanks so much for following up, Laura. It's greatly appreciated. Do you have specific notification set up for specific apps such as messages, email, samsung calendar and the ringer? If so, is the notification sound custom to one of these specific apps?

Samsung Brightside calendar notification not going away

Why doesn't the calendar notification disappear when there are no scheduled events on my Samsung Brightside?

Thank you for this information, summersrn28. That is definitely very strange. Let's give this a try. I recommend setting up one or two events, and then either waiting for the schedule notification date or time to arrive, or canceling them right away. This can possibly make the random notification go away.
Please keep us posted.

IPad making notification sound even though I disabled them all, where is it coming from?

Okay so since updating to iOS7, there is something triggering random notifications on my iPad. It's making a two note notification sound. There's no banner or badge or anything that is associated with it. I went into notification center and have literally turned off every single sound notification (but leaving the sound switch on). The iPad still makes the notification sound.
I was thinking it was coming from the OS itself, but I went and browsed the sounds under Settings->Sounds and couldn't find the one that I'm hearing (although I suppose that doesn't rule anything out).
Any ideas on where it could be coming from?

I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad Mini, but I only had the problem on the iPad Mini. My problem was a little different than yours, but this fix may work for you.
This is what I posted in another thread:
I HAVE FIGURED OUT THE FIX FOR THIS! ... (Well it worked for me on my iPad Mini.)
I saw a post from an apple rep telling a iOS 6 user to turn the side switch on to un-mute the sounds. A no-brainier yes, but it made me wonder if the side switch may have been temporarily "confused" after updating to iOS 7 because it added the new settings screen that swipes up from the bottom of the screen. I was using my side-switch to lock the screen rotation and it was in the "off" (down) position (red visible) and none of my notifications were sounding. So I flipped it up and down a couple times which didn't solve the problem. So logically, I proceeded to what inevitably solved the problem...
Go to Settings > General / "Use Side Switch To" and select the opposite of what you are currently using. I had mine on Lock Rotation, so I selected Mute. Then flip your switch up and down slowly a couple of times to see that the confirmation on the screen is correct. You may have to go back to settings again and select the other choice if you originally had Mute selected, I don't know because I originally had Lock Rotation in use.
Hopefully, this will fix your notification sounds (and the lock sound when you press the power button). After using this fix, you can set the use of the side switch to your preference and still have all of your notification sounds!

PAvilion dv6, fan not working correctly?

Was on my laptop, it shut down randomly, notification popped up saying fan was not working correctly. Is there a way to fix this? Or will it have to be sent away?

Try a can of compressed air in the reverse direction of the normal air flow. You may just have a massive amount of dust on the inside of the heatsink near the fan blades.
Here is a youtube video and about 15min in you can see the fan clearly:

Basso - What the Heck is Going on?

Ever since updating to 10.5.5 I get random notifications with no dialog presented in any application using the "Basso" sound. Since it happens when I am not interacting with the system, I assume it is some sort of network action, but I am running nothing other than Safari or Mail when it happens. My system notification sound is the "Frog". My new mail sound is "Sosumi". This did not happen prior to the update, and I have not installed any other applications. It happens both on my Macbook and my Al iMac.
I have searched and can find no evidence of why this is happening. It's driving me friggin' crazy.
Any ideas?
JB

I seem to be having a similar experience. Running Mail in the background and having random "Basso" sounds.
I notice I have "Play Sounds for other mail actions" checked in Mail preferences >General. Perhaps this is the associated sound for a particular random mail event.
Just a thought

IPad 2 3G connectivity issues

I received a replacement iPad 2 3G this week under warranty for a faulty microphone on my original iPad 2. I have run into many issues since attempting to set up the replacement. After restoring from a backup I had 103 apps that needed updated through the App Store. (Most likely my fault as I hadn't transferred the purchases or chose to update my apps through iTunes before restoring). I proceeded to update the apps only to have issues of the apps getting stuck on "installing" so I reset the iPad and decided to set up as new. The next issue I encountered was iTunes stated that the iPad could not be activated and to try later. I then tried to activate from the iPad using iCloud only to have the ipAd continually restart and never get activated. After reading many posts, I took out the SIM card and immediately got activation on the iPad though iTunes. Most of the problems solved. One other annoying issue was that before resetting as "new" I was getting a repeated notification saying "this iPhone cannot make or receive calls, restore need.". After the restore I again got this notification but only got it once shortly after activating and haven't seen one since (one full day.) I did get one random notification just a few hours ago saying something along the lines of "fixed dialing calls activated" or something similar. The main issue is that my iPad will not stay connected to 3G data. It randomly and repeateldly will drop signal and shows "searching" to "no service" and then back again to showing an active 3G connection. My previous iPad had a steady 3G connection at the same location so it's not a location issue. The only thing I can think of is that I had 3G activated on my original iPad 2 and moved that SIM card to the new iPad 2 as instructed by Apple and this is somehow affecting the 3G data.
Any ideas would be great. I'm three hours from the closest Apple store and don't want to have to go through another replacement through Apple if at all possible.
Thanks!

There's only two 3G cellular companies - AT&T or Verizon, but not both - on the iPad 2. This service is paid monthly & is totally separate from your home phone, cell phone or computer ISP.

Droid Maxx- texting and app issues

My Droid Maxx has been giving me hell lately. I haven't received texts in over a month now, even though my inbox is empty and I have full bars. I receive calls just fine. I get random notifications that certain apps aren't working, like messaging and windows live.

I first noticed this issue last Friday, it has been occurring consistently since then. I can send text messages, however I can not receive. Several people have sent messages that never arrive. I have had the phone for on about 3 months. Love this phone, until this issue. Like other posts, I have cleared cache, etc. Tried the Verizon Messaging App and even deleted all of my texting history. I am still getting the pop up. Spent 1.5 hrs on the phone with Verizon level two support on Saturday, still no fix. Clearly, others are experiencing the same problem. Where does Verizon\
Motorola stand on this issue?
