Depends on the context. If dealing with numbers or referring to the key on a keyboard, number sign. If talking about a phone keypad (not keyboard), it's the pound sign/key. If talking about music or hashtags, sharp.

a lot of those options. if I was communicating it to someone else I would probably say "pound sign" since I think that is the term for the keyboard key, but I don't really know why it's called that.

Because it was once used as the symbol for pounds (weight). 10# is 10 pounds.

I don't think I've ever seen that before but it would definitely be preferable to lbs. (had to confirm again if it's ibs ibls or what).

Number sign unless I know I need someone to enter it as a button press or character in a password, in which case I use pound.

I resort to hashtag if people get confused with pound.

What does that mean? I'm a millennial and I've always known it as the pound symbol.

I can recognize it as "pound" or "hashtag" depending on the context, but usually, I think of it as the "number sign".
