It may be that you have the (sometimes annoying) system sound turned
off. In Gnome, you can navigate to:

System, Preferences, Sound.

Verify the Output volume at the top is not zero and the mute checkbox
isn't checked.

Confirm you have a Sound Theme selected. Click on the options in the
"Choose an alert sound" and confirm you hear the sounds (bark, drip,
glass, or whatever your theme has).

"Works for me."
