Can I Get Sound Notifications on Both iPhone & Apple Watch

How to Get Sound Notifications on Both iPhone and Apple Watch:
https://techwiser.com/how-to-get-sound-notifications-on-both-iphone-and-apple-watch/
"If your iPhone is unlocked, your notifications will arrive on the iPhone itself and will not go to the Watch. It makes sense because if you are using the iPhone, you should be able to see the notifications on the phone itself. You shouldn't have to look at your watch to check the notifications.
...
On the other hand, if your iPhone is locked, which indicates that you are not using your phone, the notifications will arrive on the Apple Watch provided it is unlocked.
...
But the problem arises when a user wants notifications to arrive on both the devices i.e., Apple Watch and iPhone. You may ask, why? Well, every user has different reasons. The primary reason being the sound of the notification is louder on the iPhone than on the Watch.

Sadly, Apple doesn't provide any direct setting to achieve this behavior. However, there's a workaround that lets you get notifications on both Apple Watch and iPhone."
"To get notifications on both Apple Watch and iPhone, you need to turn off the wrist detection feature. Unfortunately, you will have to sacrifice certain things after you turn off wrist detection:
  •     Heart rate tracking and it's notifications are turned off.
  •     Your watch will not lock or unlock automatically.
  •     You will have to enter the passcode to authorize payments using Apple Watch.
  •     Emergency calls will not be made in case of fall detection.
  •     Some other activity measurements could also stop working."

"... by design, when using an iPhone that is locked, it will route all text messages notification alerts to the iWatch.  If the phone is unlocked it will not."
"You can turn off Apple Watch notifications and then get all your notifications on the iPhone by using the iPhone "Watch" app -> Messages -> Notifications Off"

"You can send Apple Watch Feedback and ask for a feature change
Https://www.apple.com/feedback/watch.html
They will not reply, but it does get read."

"     If the watch is on silent (which it can be if the phone has been switched to silent during the day, the watch stays on silent) you don't get anything.

On your phone, go to the Watch app. Go to General>Do Not Disturb>Mirror iPhone and turn it off. That way, your watch will not get switched to silent when your phone is. Also, go to Sounds & Haptics. Make sure that Haptic Alerts are enabled and that you have ticked "Prominent'. "

"Welcome to Apple Support Communities!  

If we understand your post correctly, audible notifications on your phone randomly stop. W'ed like to help!

Let's check to ensure  that a feature called Deliver Quietly is off. When Deliver Quietly is on these alerts occur in the Control Center, but they don't appear on the Lock screen, don't have a banner or badge symbol, and don't make any noises. Check out the section, Manage notifications in the article below.

Use notifications on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. https://support.apple.com/HT201925

If the issue remains after following those steps, try the steps in the article below for issues with sound.
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker. https://support.apple.com/HT203794 "
