Why is my iPhone beeping? How to troubleshoot noisy handsets

Apple iPhone 14 Pro home screen

Does your iPhone make random noises like my iPhone 14 Pro? Do you get a notification, only to find nothing new on the lock screen? No red number badge on any App icon? Even the best iPhone owners may occasionally hear an errant beep and whirr, which can be especially annoying if you’re trying to sleep or stay discreet. I’ll show you how to keep your phone quiet and where to look for that mystery beep. 

First of all, remember that the iPhone has a mute switch, and it’s one of the only phones that respects silence so much. If you don’t have time to troubleshoot but you still need quiet, flick that switch until you see red. The iPhone will stay quiet.
