Are you facing the issue where your iPhone keeps making notification sound but there is no notification? This can be quite frustrating as it disturbs your peace and creates confusion as to what is causing the sound. In this article, we will discuss some possible reasons for this problem and provide solutions to fix it.
Reasons for iPhone Making Notification Sound But No Notification
There can be several reasons for your iPhone making notification sound but no notification. The most common reasons are:
- Software Glitch
- Mail App Issue
- Third-Party App
- Apple Watch
- Calendar Event
- Siri Suggestions
- Ghost Notification
Software Glitch
A software glitch can cause your iPhone to play notification sounds even when there is no notification. To fix this problem, you can try restarting your iPhone. Press and hold the power button until the “slide to power off” slider appears. Drag the slider to turn off your iPhone. After a few seconds, press and hold the power button again until the Apple logo appears. This will restart your iPhone and may fix the software glitch causing the notification sound.
Mail App Issue
If you have set up your email account on your iPhone and the notification sound keeps playing, even when there is no new email, it could be a Mail app issue. To fix this, go to Settings > Mail > Accounts and tap on the email account that is causing the issue. Turn off the “New Mail” option and turn it back on. This will refresh the Mail app and may fix the issue.
Third-Party App
If you have recently installed a new app on your iPhone and the notification sound keeps playing, even when there is no notification from that app, it could be a third-party app issue. Try uninstalling the app and see if the problem persists. If the problem goes away, it means the app was causing the issue. You can contact the app developer for a fix or wait for the app update.
Apple Watch
If you have an Apple Watch connected to your iPhone, it could be causing the notification sound even when there is no notification on your iPhone. To fix this, you can try turning off the “Mirror iPhone” option in the Watch app. Go to the Watch app on your iPhone, tap on My Watch, and then tap on General. Turn off the “Mirror iPhone” option. This will stop the Apple Watch from mirroring the notifications from your iPhone.
Calendar Event
If you have a calendar event set up on your iPhone and the notification sound keeps playing, even when the event is over, it could be a calendar event issue. To fix this, go to the Calendar app on your iPhone and check if there are any past events that are still marked as active. If you find any, delete them and see if the problem goes away.
Siri Suggestions
If you have Siri suggestions turned on, it could be causing the notification sound even when there is no notification. Siri suggestions are based on your usage patterns and can suggest apps, contacts, and more. To turn off Siri suggestions, go to Settings > Siri & Search and turn off the “Suggestions in Search” and “Suggestions in Look Up” options.
Ghost Notification
Another possible reason for your iPhone making notification sound but no notification is a ghost notification. This happens when a notification is received but is not displayed on the lock screen or in the notification center. To fix this, go to Settings > Notifications and scroll down to the app that is causing the issue. Turn off the “Show on Lock Screen” and “Show in History” options. This will prevent the app from sending ghost notifications.

There can be several reasons for your iPhone making notification sound but no notification. The most common reasons are a software glitch, mail app issue, third-party app, Apple Watch, calendar event, Siri suggestions, and ghost notification.
