So did I . Nearly scare the living daylights out of me. Dig deep enough into your settings and you can switch the alerts off

Me too. My phone's under a pile of washing so I didn't connect the beeps with it...thought it was DH's laptop going a bit mad.

I've just had one, I nearly jumped out of my skin shock not a sound I usually associate with my phone.

Anyone else?
