How to change a countdown timer sound, if I use Siri?

After I updated iOS 17, When I ask Siri to set a countdown timer, Siri doesn't use my recent sound setting. Siri always uses the default sound which I really don't like.


Previous iOS 16 had no problem with that timer setting. If I set the Twinkle sound timer, Siri was also using the Twinkle sound.

iPhone X

Thank you Apple for informing me of what I want instead of allowing me to choose for myself. Please just let us set our own default. Please. I appreciate how easy you have made it to set different tones for timers when you are running more than one at a time, but to make us choose a tone MANUALLY EVERY TIME is … a complete lack of understanding of your customers.
