Hi
I have created a couple of personal automations via shortcuts., My question is when these alerts pops up there's no sound either in iPhone nor in watch.

Hi, Sreekanth2019.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We’re glad you decided to reach out about your personal automations not notifying you audibly when they run.
Did you add an action to notify you to the automation? You won’t be audibly alerted when the automation asks permission to run, but you can set an action to notify you by Show Notification, Play Sound, or Vibrate Device and then disabled Ask Before Running if you need a notification.
For example, try this:
- Shortcuts app > Automations > Create Personal Automation > Airplane Mode > Is Turned On >Next > Add Action, and search by keyword “Notify”.
- Tap Play Sound > Next, and disable Ask Before Running.
- Open Control Center and tap Airplane Mode. You should hear a sound when the action is taken.
Make sense?
