y samsung galaxy note 2 has started making a strange sound?
It resembles a cash register. Can anyone tell me why it does it?
Thanks

    Is it picking up something with an NFC chip in it? Like putting it near a contactless payment card?

    But you may have an NFC app that is running .

    An NFC app would only make the noise if it picked up a tag.

    Is bound to be an app of some sort, though.
