Mac - No Alert Sounds. No Sound Files.

I do not get any alert sounds on the Mac. I can play iTunes. But no iMessage alert, and it does not 'ding' when I change the slider.

I notice that when I got to Library/Audio/Sounds/Alerts that there are not any files there. That is also true under my user.

Is lack of sound files causing the issue? If so, how can I replace those files?

It looks like I have somehow fixed this. I have a dual boot Mac. I dragged the sounds from Mojave to Big Sur, rebooted and now the alert sounds work.
