Hello,

See these steps:

1) Check the silent button above the volume buttons.  Do you see red?  If so, move the slider.

2) Is Do Not Disturb on?  Go to Settings > Do Not Disturb.  Is it turned on?  Check the times.

3) Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages.  It is turned on?

4) Go to Settings > Sound & Haptics.  Change the "Text Tone" to a different sound.  Does it make a sound?

5) Send a text message to yourself for testing purposes.

6) See this: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker

Good luck.
