Hello, 

Since few months my phone plays strange background music and I can't find the source of it. I am sure there is funky app installed somewhere which I can't find. Sometimes the music is not played for a month and the other times it will play if I open any app like X or FB etc. 

Below is the video I recorded when the music was being played. Any help is appreciated.

Do you remember what the last app you installed was before this started happening? If you do, uninstall it and see if that helps.  When this happens does the media controller appear in your notification area? If it does, it might give you some insight into where it's coming from. Is it always the same music?

Thanks for your response. 

I don't remember if I installed any new app. I have some main apps for my use and I keep the same. However, if I doubt that in last one hour I used this app, it maybe caused the issue. I have tried going to each one by one and force close the apps from settings. But music is still playing, which means none of those app might be playing the music. 

Is there a way we find which app is playing the music and I can check when its happening?
I saw some online that settings > Privacy has an option but my S23 Ultra don't have similar options in settings.

Maybe try installing Nice Catch from the Good Lock suite of apps. It might help you track down the source:

Thanks a lot. You are the best. 

I couldn't find this app from the good lock apps inside. However from your link, I reached to play store and installed it. Just tried with media player and it gets the record of sound. 

Now I'm waiting for that weirdo music to show up again and I catch him hopefully. šŸ˜„

Just FYI, in the Good Lock app there are two tabs, "make up" and "life up" - Nice Catch is on the Life up tab. along with some other modules you might like.

Thanks a lot. It is really helpful. 

That music didn't come up since then but surely I can catch it using Nice Catch app once it plays.
