Hi Rob. How long have you had your phone? Can you tell us what the alert says? Did it start after installing an app?

Ya it's a standard notification like i have set.. Same sound effect for Gmail, calendar, text, voice mail,. I don't have notification for set for wifi.

It just started about a month ago..
I have downloaded a lot of apps hard to say..
I did reboot phone by pulling battery for over a minute..
 
Go to settings, accessibility, vision, notification reminder...make sure it is checked to off. I was afraid to turn this off for fear I would not get notifications from texts etc. But this is only for unread notification in your pull down notification tray.that's why it seems so random.
I hope this helps and it's something you already haven't tried...who would think to look in accessibility for a notification setting.

okay actually that notification was turned off what I did have on was the accessibility shortcut when I turn that off that seemed to work I couldn't understand how that got turned on maybe by accident but every single time I would press and hold the power button on the side it would make the noise thank you for your help

I think that is what I suggested...is there another you didn't have checked...I would like to know just in case it would happen to me again...I bolded the part in question.
