Annoying notifications

Samsung S8 Ver 9
Recently, my phone will take periods where I get audible notifications about every 3 minutes. I have the Notification History app on my phone, but it records almost none of these notifications. I'll get a notification every 3 minutes for 3-60 minutes, then a few for a couple of hours. Then the cycle repeats. I get no popups other than the normal SMS/email. Any suggestions appreciated.

FWIW, I've learned a little. When I swipe down from the top of the phone, scroll to the bottom, I see "Notification Settings." Bottom of the next screen is "Notification Reminders." On that screen is an option for "Remind Every" where I can select a length of time. It was set on 3 minutes, the gap between alarms. I set it to 10 minutes and, unsurprisingly, I get notifications every 10 minutes. So, I've made progress, but can't get any further in my investigation.

can't you just clear notifiactions and then not have to worry about the notification sound? why not just turn notification sound off?

If you mean the "Clear" text at the bottom of 'swipe down,' Nope - doesn't stop the audible notifications. There's a good chance I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't want to turn off notification sounds to ALL notifications (e.g., text, email).
