Hello TextToneHelp,


Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities for help with Notifications.


1. First, are you paired with an Apple Watch. Notifications are different if so: Notifications on your Apple Watch - Apple Support


2. If no Apple Watch is paired, next I recommend checking Notifications settings for Messages. Also verify if you enabled Deliver Quietly: Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


"Manage notifications Deliver Quietly: These notifications appear in the Notification Center, but don't show up on the Lock screen, play sounds, or show a banner or badge icon."


3. Please also check if your iPhone is paired to any headphones. If so, the Notification might only sound through there.


4. Re-verify if Do Not Disturb turned on, and it may be necessary to do these steps: Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support



5. Is Hide alerts enabled for the message thread? Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


"When Hide Alerts is on, a crescent moon will appear next to the conversation."


6. This article also has other things to check as well: If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support


7. Also verify if your phone is stuck in headphone mode, which would be similar to headphones being paired: If your iPhone is stuck in headphone mode - Apple Support


Thanks and have a wonderful day.
