1. Turn on/off the Silent Mode

Just toggle the ringer switch off and turn it on again. Means turn on the silent mode and turn it off.

It most probably solves the sound issue on iPhones. However, if the issue persists, then you can also check the sound settings.

2. Check Sound Settings

Open the iPhone Settings menu > Select Sounds & Haptics.
Scroll to the Ringer and Alerts section.
Here you can enable Vibrate on Ring and Vibrate on Silent.

If in case, the ringer or volume changes with the accidental press or touch on your iPhone, you can turn off the Change with Buttons option.
Meanwhile, you can choose the sound patterns for calling, notifications, alarm, etc with different tones which you feel louder or suitable for you.

3. Reboot your iPhone

Next, release the key and your handset will reboot automatically.
