After being confused for a while, I've finally figured out that I'm not going nuts, my new iPhone 12 Pro is "pinging" on the hour every hour for part of the day. I'm not exactly sure which part, but I've definitely caught it doing it between 3pm and 6pm. I haven't started setting an alarm to watch more closely to see if it's more of the day.

If it's muted it buzzes, if it's not I get a chime that I'm pretty sure is different from the notification chime. I've noticed that if I have an appointment that notifies for the same time, the "chime" happens a few seconds before the regular notification.

The phone I imported from didn't do this, and I don't have any reoccurring appointments or apps that should be doing anything like this.

There's nothing in Notification Center corresponding to these notifications, either--it's just a buzz/chime like a clock. The internet tells me to look for apps that are responsible, but I didn't have any before, and I'd think that anything doing this would leave a trail in Notification Center.

Suggestions on how to track it down? Maybe an OS bug (phantom reoccurring meeting or something)?
