how to get notification on both phone and watch?

I have an issue with my iphone 12 and my apple watch. When I get a text or a phone call etc, it shows up on both my phone and watch, however the notification sound only dings on my watch and not the phone. Is there a way to set it so that the actual notification sound happens on both?

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 8

Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both.  If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode. For more info, see:
