Hi ShorePatrol,
Are you having this issue with the single text alert tone you purchased, or with all of your alerts? What happens when you change the text alert tone to a default alert sound? This resource explains all of the ways you can adjust the sound settings for your alerts:
Change sounds, ringtones, and alerts on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
You can set sounds for incoming calls as well as text messages, emails, voicemails, calendar alerts, reminders, social media updates, and more.
Go to Settings > Sounds. You'll have these options:
Turn on vibrate (iPhone only).
Adjust your ringer and alert volume.
Prevent the side buttons from changing the ringer volume.
Set your ringtone, text tone, and other alert tones. To set a tone for a specific person, go to their card in Contacts.
Turn your keyboard clicks on or off, and turn device lock sound on or off.
Set your device to silent
You'll still hear clock alarms through the built-in speaker when your device is set to silent. You can also use Do Not Disturb to silence calls, alerts, and notifications.
