I just switched from iPhone to Android and I have been experiencing some random issues. Lately, my phone (Z Flip6) started ringing randomly without any calls or notifications, and it's not a typical call or an app ringtone. 
I found the below post regarding a software glitch, but this is 2 years ago already.


Appreciate any help, thanks!

P.S. literally just happened again while writing this post.

Your phone or tablet may make sudden notification sounds if you have unread or snoozed notifications. You may also be receiving unwanted notifications or repeating notifications, such as emergency alerts. To fix this, check your recent notifications and notification history to make sure you are only seeing the alerts that are important to you.

Navigate to and open Settings, then tap Notifications, and then tap App notifications. Tap the drop-down menu at the top to select from Most recent, Most frequent, Notifications turned off, or All.

If you received an emergency alert and did not clear it, you may continue to hear the alert noise. Navigate to and open Settings, then tap Notifications, and then tap Advanced settings. Tap Wireless emergency alerts. From here, you can select the switch(es) next to the alerts you prefer to receive. Presidential alerts cannot be disabled.

Your Notification history will allow you to view notifications you have already dismissed or snoozed, as well as notifications you've received in the last 24 hours. Navigate to and open Settings, then tap Notifications, and then tap Advanced settings. Tap Notification history, and then tap the switch to turn it on.

If you previously allowed certain apps to send repeat notifications, you will hear the app’s notification sounds until you dismiss the notification. To turn this off, navigate to and open Settings, then tap Notifications, and then tap Advanced settings. Tap the switch next to Repeat notification alerts to disable the option.

Hi there. Thank you for this, seems like one of the options in your comment has worked.
Not really sure what was the case but I just silenced every app I don't use.

This is so weird. Maybe an errant app? Did this happen at all when you first got the device?

If you don't mind, and if you can, reset your phone, and see if that still happens.
