Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! If you're not hearing Siri announce your notifications, let's try the steps from the article below that should help:
Announce notifications with Siri on AirPods or Beats
If you don’t hear Siri announce your notifications, try these steps:
1. Make sure that you're using a compatible device.
2. Make sure that your AirPods or your compatible Beats headphones are paired to your device in Settings > Bluetooth.
3. Go to Settings > Notifications > Announce Notifications and make sure that Announce Notifications is turned on.
4. Make sure that your iPhone or iPad is locked and its screen is dark. Siri doesn't announce messages if you're using your device.
And if "Hey Siri" isn't responding, you'll want to start with the steps below that can also help:
