Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem and if anyone knows a solution. I am running the stock rom, but its rooted.
I am having problems with notification sounds, these two in particular:
1. In the hangouts app which I use also for SMS my notification sound does not sound when I set a text, it works when I get a hangout message, but not a SMS. I've tried setting it to different sounds and nothing. It vibrates, but no sound
2. Alarms, when my alarm goes off it sometimes only makes a sound for half a second then stops. It keeps vibrating and the screen still shows the alarm going off and I have to swipe the red circle to stop it, but half the time only a blip of sound. Again this is with all the different sounds. The timer also does it but not as often.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
I figured it out. When it was happening I also happened to realize that there was an application running in the background preventing me from turning up my media volume. So I went through all the running app processes and started killing them off until I had control over the media volume. Turned out to be OpenMic+. Uninstalled and now everything works as it should. I am sure there was some setting in openmic causing the problem and I could have probably turned it off but I never use it so uninstall was easier.

I'm using Nero v5 and I tried hooking up my LG bluetooth headset to the phone. After pairing I initiate the connection manually and a tone starts ringing (sounds a bit like a sonar) and would not stop. I turned off bluetooth and it kept on going. I ended up rebooting and that turned it off. I retried pairing and the tone started again. I confirmed the connection was working by making a call which worked. Still the tone kept going. I rebooted and after rebooting the tone started up again. What turned it off this time is when I switched of bluetooth via the home screen pull-down menu.
Is this a setting issue or a bug? Is there a place where I can select the tone and just silence it. I'm guessing it should not ring constantly, so that might be a bug. I did a quick search for bluetooth on this thread and couldn't find a mention of a similar problem.
I flashed from 4.1 to 5, before that I flashed from 2.1 stock.
I checked my wife's Vibrant running Obsidian 4.2 and there is no ringtone when connecting to a bluetooth devices.
Any help on how to turn-off the tone or fix the problem is greatly appreciated. I could find anything in the settings menu.
Haven't seen that issue before. Here's a potential workaround for your issue...
Set the default system notification ringtone to "Silent" and then set the notification ringtone for Gmail, SMS, etc separately in each app. Then you'll get most if not all your notifications but the bluetooth notifications should be silenced.

I'll try the workaround and let you know if it works.

This is the only way I found that would disable the Bluetooth notification tone on Nero v3. All the other notifications work fine when set from each app.
Thanks guys for the tip. That worked.

This is an incredibly annoying issue. I've got a GSM Galaxy Nexus, and it is playing a random notification sound constantly. The strangest thing is that the sound isn't mapped to anything. Like, if I set the default notification to silent, it still plays the same random sound all the time.
I've tried using an app that tracks notifications, but it didn't find anything. I've checked through every app, and none are set to use this sound. And, I'm not using Yahoo Mail (which I've read is often the culprit in things like this).
I'd rather not have to do a hard reset, because the issue started just after a hard reset when I set up the phone for my wife. It's running stock Android 4.2.2, not rooted.
Anyone have any ideas what's going on here?

I'm having the same problem. I haven't checked yet to see if it's just the one notification sound by changing my settings, but my default notification definitely goes off randomly. There is no associated notification indicated on my phone, just the sound. I too downloaded an app that tracks notifications and it didn't find anything either. Nor am I using Yahoo! Mail.
Sometimes it's just one random notification sound. However a few times it's gone off about 10-15 times in a span of 30-seconds. It's really annoying. I too would love to avoid a hard reset, as I just got this phone brand new less than a month ago.
Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4, not rooted, Android 4.2.2
Weird issue came up this morning. Didn't have this before, didn't install anything new, didn't visit any "strange" sites.
Screen is off, but phone lets out a notification sound ( sounds like "click-clack"), didn't get a SMS or a mail, just sounds off now and again. Restarted the phone, automatic sync is off, but i cant for the life of me figure out whats going on. Changed all tones to different ones for a test, and still this same click-clack pops out, screen stays off.
Ideas how to approach this issue? What app to use to check for latest activity using sound or something?
I recently noticed my notification sounds were being muted randomly and I'm not entirely sure how. The only thing I've started doing different was using my new lg tone+ headset but that shouldn't affect my notification volume. Ringer volume system and media stay the same.
It's there a way to check what's doing this? Is it is causing me to miss extremely important messages emails etcetera, and I've tried not using the bt headset but it still seems to be doing it.
I'm going to go all day tomorrow without the headset and see what happens.
If there isn't an easy way... Maybe a Tasker task to set it high? Any ideas.
mine will do the same when I have too many mms messsges(250+) stored. I end up deleting some to fix the issue.
Strange I've never had that issue. And it is my headset. For some reason when I set out to read it my text messages out mutes my notifications. Not quite sure how to fix it. Any suggestions on a good app to read my text messages to me. I'm using lg's bt reader + app but there has to be better.
I have a problem with whatsapp notifications is that sometimes i receive them but no notification sound is played. Or its paritally played. And sometimes the notification sound is very low even i set all volumes to max.
I did reset all notification settings from whatsapp. Nothing happens.
I turned off battery optimization. And waiting for results
Update.
After manually managing battery optimization for whatsapp, it seems that problem is solved. Will keep updating if anything happens

same problem back again. anyone figured a solution????
I have the exact same problem but it doesn't seem like anyone will get answers from this forum. Huawei mate 10 lite. Whatsapp recently reinstalled. Background data not restricted, notification sounds enabled and volume is on max.
Same chat will sometimes have the notification and sometimes not. Doesn't matter whether app is closed or not. Can get three messages come through at similar intervals but it only two chats will send the notification sound.
Huawei Software also recently updated
