Another Background Check Question - Accepted SA offer from top BB

Hey, long time reader, first time poster. I accepted a SA offer from a top BB and have a question about the background check. Does HR call you to let you know when you've cleared the check? They did for a past internship only a few days after my drug test letting me know I passed that/the background check. I started the background check a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything yet, so I'm getting paranoid. But maybe it's not normal to call (would be a lot of calls for a whole SA class no?) and I'm getting worried about nothing.

Sorry if this Q has been answered, I searched and couldn't find anything.

for my previous 2 internships they gave me a month or so do finish the background check (do the drug test etc) - and i wasn't ever notified that i passed via phone or email even though i did. i guess if you do not hear anything then it's all good.
