Iphone doesn't make a sound alert when get texts many times

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes you get a sound alert that you got a text and many times you do not?

Hello, Nina1125. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I would make sure that you have a Text Tone set in Settings > Sounds.  If your device is witched to silent Text Tones will not be audible.

  • My iPhone doesn't make a sound when I receive a text, even though it's on loud.

    When a message comes through on my iPhone it doesn't give and text tone to say it has arrived. It will show it on the screen as normal when the home button is pressed. I have checked my handset is not on mute and the volume is full. It is not set to vibrate in any way. How can I fix this?

    Is the silent switch on?

  • On my iPhone 4s, how do I make it so it doesn't make a sound when I send a text?

    On my iPhone 4s, how do I make it so it doesn't make a sound when I send a text? Even if my ringer is set to high, I don't want it to make a sound when it sends my texts..can anyone help?

    Flip the Ring/Silent switch.

  • IPhone doesn't make a noise when a text is received

    I just got a brand new iPhone 3G. All of the sound works, except when I receive a text, it only vibrates and doesn't make the sound I've set it to. Ringtones, voicemail alerts, sent texts, alarms, etc., all make their appropriate noises. It's ONLY when I receive a text it does not.
    My volume is all the way up and on, it's set on vibrate and ring.

    I've noticed this issue too...am I being dumb? Did I miss the reason for this? And is there a bug fix? I've tried selecting a different text alert sound, but to no avail...

  • I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S.  I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds.  After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?"  I didn't even know such a function existed.  Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
    To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual.  If it is green, turn it off.  You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
    This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu).  I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
    I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere.  Good luck!

  • There is no "beep" sound alert when the totally flat battery start to charge for my iPhone 5

    There is no " beep" sound alert when the totally flat battery start to charge for my iPhone 5

    Problem solved. I tore the phone down and did another, the third one, liquid repair and clean on it and to my surprise it fired right up with absolutely no signs of damage and all functions working perfectly.

    Check the Mute switch, which is on the left side of the phone above the volume buttons.

  • E51 doesn't make a sound!...

    Hi,
    my E51 doesn't make a sound since yesterday
    nothing to do with profiles or settings
    it just doesn't make a sound
    when you connect it... when you get a message...
    formated it, but still the same...
    could it be a loudspeaker fault!?...
    (still vibrates, but I don’t need it as such!)
    Thanks

    thanks.
    I managed to revive the speaker for a brief moment after one of many firmware flashes / hard resets. (But I didn't realize) I only noticed when I went back into changing the alarm ring tone and it actually played the tune. when changing to the next tone - speaker died again.
    No luck reviving the sound since.
    Problem seem to happen when changing "clock alarm tone" via offline apps / clock / options / settings.
    But I'm now convinced that its a software problem. Hopefully the local repair center will replace phone as well...

  • Since last week my date & time have not worked on my 5c. The date & time are constantly wrong. I've shut down, doesn't work. Set it automatically, doesn't work. I don't get texts or calls when it's sleeping. Any suggestions?

    try a reset.
    Hold the home & power buttons down simultaneously until you see the Apple logo appear.
    Note: no data will be lost.

    The phone was jailbroken. That's what that error indicates. You can't get help here. You can't get help from Apple.
    Try Google.

  • Switched from iPhone 5 to Galaxy Note 3 and not getting texts

    switched from iPhone 5 to Galaxy Note 3 and not getting texts
    Turned off I message. Now what?

    Do not expect ANY help from Apple.
    I switched to a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and have been gettig the run around for the last FOUR weeks...the tech I spoke with only returned one of my many phone calls after our initial conversation (in which she told me she reset the computer and I should be all set in 48 hours) to say it should clear itself up, there is nothing she can do to help.

  • I have an iphone 6.  The ringer doesn't make a sound.   I have tested the ringer and it sounds however when I receive a call or text or email the ringer is silent

    I have an iphone 6.   The ringer remains silent when I receive a call, text or email.  It shows I am receiving a call on the screen but there isn't any sound.  I cannot figure out what is wrong.

    If you've checked the mute switch as razmee209 has suggested and it's not enabled, the next thing to check would be Do Not Disturb. Do you see a small crescent moon in the status bar? Check Settings>Do Not Disturb and turn it off.

  • IPhone doesn't make audible alerts while docked

    My iphone 4 doesn't make audible alerts for text messages while docked. Is there a fix for this?

    I seem to have a similar problem as I cannot seem to figure out how to set audible alerts for all mail, text messages or WhatsApp when my iPhone5 is locked! Can anybody help or do I have to go back to Blackberry for that?
