sometimes I don't get an audible notification on texts

I think it has to do with my watch and/or laptop being used, or maybe my car's bluetooth. It definitely isn't related to being on focus mode. Suggestions?

iPhone XS, iOS 16

Notifications appear on your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. If your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked. For more info, see:
