Hello Jessie03,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are not hearing notification sounds for the Calendar app on your Mac. You've come to the right place for help.
Let's start by checking Notifications settings in System Preferences on your Mac: Use Notifications on your Mac - Apple Support
Specifically, follow the steps in this section to confirm "Play sound for notifications" has been enabled for Calendar:
If that setting is already turned on, and you do not hear notification sounds for calendar events, some helpful information to know would be: do you hear notification sounds for other apps? Does this occur with notifications for a specific calendar, or notifications for multiple calendars in the calendar app?
Take care!
