If I'm in my SMS / messages, reading a conversation or waiting for a reply, the alert sound is different to the one I have chosen e.g. Chime

SMS alerts/sounds are fine if I am in any other window except in messages.

Is this normal?

Thanks...thought I had a bug

I was in dialogue with someone, back and forth, while watching TV and never heard their replies. My volume was down low which is not an issue if I have the alert set to "Horn".

Many thanks for your help!

The sound you choose only plays when the Messaging/SMS app is NOT open/in the foreground. When it is open, it will play the whoop sound.
