Why do I sometimes get gold when I didn't last hit anything?

Occasionally when I'm in a lane, I'll get 40-something gold when I seemingly didn't do anything. It flashes the amount above my head and makes the gold clinking sounds like I last-hit a creep, but it happens as support too when I know I didn't attack anything recently.

I understand I can get gold at seemingly random times from stacking the jungle creeps and bounty runes, but runes make a different sound, and it happens even when I haven't stacked anything.

It seems to happen towards the end of a wave, often when the last creep dies, but it doesn't always happen. I'm not complaining, but I would like to understand. What is giving me this gold?
