wireless charging notification

My iPhone used to make provide a short sound signal indicating when it had been put correctly on the wireless charger, and charging had started. How do I get it to restart doing this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hello,

If your iPhone isn’t making any sounds while charging, there could be a problem with the dock/charging connector. The iPhone routes sound to an external speaker when it’s plugged in, which can be either a problem with the audio jack itself, or a loose connector. In either case, cleaning the dock connector may fix the issue. Make sure to gently clean the area around the connector – it can easily become clogged with dirt or grime.


First, check the sound settings on your iPhone. The volume level is the most common culprit. You can check this by sliding the Volume button to the right. If it’s set to the highest level, try removing the Bluetooth device. If the problem persists, try reconnecting the charging cable to the iPhone and try again. If you still don’t get any sound, try restoring the iPhone to the latest backup.

Thanks. The sound was just a brief "chirp" just when the phone was placed on the charger (i.e. not using a charging cable). I've confirmed it's not a sound setting problem. Most significantly, I've noticed the same recent loss of this sound from my digital bathroom scales, which used to make this noise briefly after I had stepped on them and they had settled on a value for my weight.
