iMessage Notifications

When I am using my MacBook Air, I receive a notification on my MacBook for any iMessages but the notification on my phone is delivered without any sound - is this normal? When I am not using my MacBook Air, the iMessage alerts on my iPhone are audible. My guess is this is intended behavior to minimize getting an audible notification on every device simultaneously, but wanted to confirm.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

Confirmed. The behavior that you have mentioned is by design and for the very same reason that you stated.
