Text tone not working, do only some tones work with Text?

My text tone isn’t working. But the text shows up on the lock screen. Do you have to choose a text tone from the first list in the sounds section?

It’s me replying to myself. I switched the sound I chose for the text tone to one on the very first list that you get. Not clicking on ‘classic’ and going to that other more interesting list. And it works fine now. So if your text tone isn’t working it may be that you have chosen a ⚠️forbidden sound⚠️😰. It would be nice if they told us that.
