Random Screaming Notification from my Tab! Please Help!

Hi all,

First time post so apologies if this has been covered (although I couldn't see anything from my searching efforts).

My Tab S2 randomly emits a very short, bloodcurdling screaming sound! I know it sounds crazy and I wish I could predict when it's going to happen so that I could record it but it's very, very odd. I have all notifications switched off but it seems to be some sort of notification because I only hear it if the notification volume is up. (If notifications volume is down, I assume it still happens but I just don't hear it).

I initially thought it was some sort of malware (although Kaspersky assures me that this isn't the case) and I rebuilt the tablet - but still it persists.

Before I try another blitz and rebuild I thought I would ask - Is this anything that anyone has noticed before? It sounds like something from a horror movie - like a jump scare sound effect!

Many thanks,


Sean
