Check Device/Phone Volume
Alert sounds depend on your phone’s volume settings. If your phone is on Silent Mode or the volume is all the way down, you won’t hear the sound.
Check your phone’s volume by going to Settings, then Sound and tapping Volume. Make sure the volume for Notifications is turned on.

For each alert, you can choose how you would like to receive it:
