interesting. I suppose you have a rogue program that isn't honoring quiet. actually quiet doesn't stop all sounds. go to the settings again alarms music video games... something is still generating stuff... What email program are you using?
have you tried airplane mode to see if reception of stuff inhibited results in true quiet.

Perhaps it is the "Battery Fully Charged, unplug it" (paraphrased) message and notification sound when it hits 100%. Since the G2 trickle charges once it's full, it then stops charging; and later when the charge goes down, it starts charging again and makes a sound at 100%.
That's my guess, I never hear stuff at night, hehe. Of course, that theory is out the window if you don't charge overnight.

Do you have any email sync errors? Particularly, Yahoo has been having issues up until last week, I believe. Also, once in a while, I keep getting email sync errors ("Problem with Network") and it doesn't go away until I restart.
When the phone makes these random noises, is there any indication on the screen (icons in notification area, or popups) that might give a clue? I'm not suggesting staying away to pounce on the phone when it makes the noise but just trying to see if more information might be available.
You mentioned Quiet Mode. So Quiet Mode is off with no quiet times scheduled, yes?

There is an interesting thread on another board, for another device too; but there might be some ideas that can be tried to solve the mystery notification issue:

I too have been having this problem. I recorded a tone that is silent (so when played nothing is heard), and chose it as my notifications tone. Yet, the phone still inexplicably plays the tone set for Gmail (it's only set for Gmail). My phone doesn't have a fully charge tone, in fact, I wasn't aware that there was such a thing. Either way, I never fully charge the battery nor fully deplete the battery (never below 30%).

I'm confused. I have a VZW model...
In GMail you can turn off notifications. In GMail, Menu | Settings then go you your account, and uncheck Notifications.
** If you do this, you will not have sound notifications or, a notification icon in your notification bar **.
On the VZW model, there is a silent tone already. You can leave Notifications checked. And you can select this tone.
** If you do this, you will not have sound notifications, but you will have an icon in your notification bar (indicating you have mail waiting **.
Anyway, that's how mine works.
Check to make sure your GMail program has only one account defined to it. If it has multiple accounts, then possibly you need to make these settings for multiple accounts. Sounds reasonable right? I never use the GMail mailer for anything but GMail.
If you still have a problem, you might want to consider doing the following: (I'm not responsible if you loose some mail in the process OK? So capture or print what you need to. It's likely to be still on the server, unless you've indicated you want messages deleted when you delete them on your phone... I think it works that way but don't hold me to it.).
Go into Settings for the phone, choose Application Manager, swype all the way to the right so All is displayed. Choose GMail. Uninstall updates. Then Disable.
Reboot your phone.
Go in again and re-enable GMail. I suppose you could go into the Market and perform an "Update".
Or, you could try a FDR.
You sure it is GMail that is generating a sound?
Weird.

Stef7 - I have the Sprint variant (LG G2) and the Gmail notifications are on but the other notifications are set to silent by me creating a tone that is actually silent. This is my 3rd G2. The other phones had the silent option, but this one does not. I am 100 percent sure it's not gmail. I only have one email acct and it's with gmail.
I have noticed a couple of other subtle differences between this phone and the other two. Differences for the better (except not having the silent option).

Yes, I read that thread, but I haven't used Yahoo in over 7 years 
And I installed only the same apps that were on the first two phones.
The first device the knock-on feature only worked about 30% of the time; the second G2 had a faulty power button.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this one; I can deal with false notifications.
