No Sound on Repeat Notifications

[Xtmanual]

I have a Pixel 8a using Android 16. I have 2 home security apps that send notifications every time they see movement. I only get the notification sound with the first notification from each app. If I do not clear the notification any additional notifications show up, but there is no sound. How do I make all subsequent notifications play the sound?

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Notifications>Notification Cooldown. Is that turned on?

I moved your question to our pixel 8a forums

No Cooldown is not turned on.

Do you have any wearables or other kinds of connected devices that might also be getting these notifications?

No wearables. I do have the phone bluetoothed to my hearing aids. The first of each apps notifications comes through my hearing aids, any second or third notification does not come to my hearing aids nor does it sound on the phone. This behaviour is the same for all my apps. So for example gmail will only sound the notification for the first email that comes in.

Ok -- and does that happen for the rest of the day, or is it just for a string of notifications that arrive close to each other?

If I do not clear the first notification the second one will not sound whether 30 seconds or 2 hours apart.

Some 3rd party app you installed might be causing the issue (and if you had to install an app for your hearing aids, I would focus on that).

See if the problem persists in Safe Mode: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2852139?hl=en. If it goes away, then you know that something you installed is the culprit; however, it can be a bit tedious to narrow it down afterwards. But as I suggested above, the first app I'd suspect would be a hearing aid app.
