My wife and I regularly misplace our phones in the house and we also keep them on mute like 99% of the time.

Are there any apps that allow us to ping the other ones phone audibly despite it being on mute?

One is a oneplus 6t the other a s23 ultra if that makes a difference

EDIT: I found a solution i like; Homeassistant with TTS Notifications. Of couse you can still list some apps and solutions for others to find, but i am happy now!

Ah gotcha. I don't know of a foss version but you can use Buzzkill or STFO to make a notification rule that turns up sound for a matching text message or something like that. I.e. send a text "ring my phone" and make a rule for it to do a sound
