Text Tone Notification Stutters

Just had this happen to me for the first time today... it was weird. The text tone is a "3 part" for lack of a better term. It played the first 2 and then stopped. I thought "that's odd..." and pulled out my phone. Nothing on the screen. Hit the "wake" button (or home button, don't remember) and woke the phone to hear the very last part of the tone play (it had been 40 seconds) and my wifes txt flash up on my screen.
possibly unrelated is that I was in the middle of our lead building where you have literally NO signal. But in this spot, I can sometimes pick up the wifi signal for the office. Don't know if that's related in any way. At first I thought it may be a signal issue but now I'm thinking it's an OS thing. Haven't rebooted my phone lately. Gonna do that first and send myself txts lol
sent myself a couple of test texts and no problems after restart. Again, about an hour ago was the first time I ever noticed it happening and I've sent/rec'd a LOT of txts since getting this thing.
Is your phone Jailbroken? Mine used to do this, also, either that or I'd get duplicate notifications.
Quite annoying.

My 4S does this from time to time as well. It does it with the Tri-Tone text tone and with the "ding" I've got set up as my Notification Center sound. It's random and rare, but it is annoying.

It's a bug with text tones, at work 6 of us have the 4s everyone has the swoosh noise can't remember name and when we get mail from our boss it stutters 3 times and sounds like 49 fighter jets launching torpedoes its really annoying

This made me chuckle
i also have this problem. I had it on my 3GS quite often, especially for the 3 weeks or so i was on iOS 5 before i picked up my 4s. I've had it happen about 4 or 5 times so far since i've had my 4s.
Super annoying when it does happen.
