Go to Settings > Sounds (or Settings > Sounds & Haptics), and drag the Ringer and Alerts slider back and forth a few times. If you don't hear any sound, or if your speaker button on the Ringer and Alerts slider is dimmed, your speaker might need service. Contact Apple Support for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Or

Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center. Look for the bell icon in the row of icons at the top of the control center. Tap on that icon until the bell is black on a grey background. Tap the arrow at the top of the control center to close it. Try an app for sound again.
