Rude Siri response
Has anyone found a way to get Siri to simply say yes or I'm Listening yet?
iPhone 12, iOS 15
I just want it to stop saying uh-huh or hmmm. I want some acknowledgement that I have activated Siri if I am not close to my phone.

It seems to irk a certain subset of the population. Personally, I think it's funny (and I'm 60). You can let Apple know your thoughts here:
Perhaps if enough people do, they will change it.
You may also want to keep in mind that you can only adjust the volume of Siri's voice while Siri is active on the screen. And that volume is independent of the system volume. So, you may want to say "Hey, Siri..." grit your teeth and doublecheck, using the volume buttons, that the volume is turned up all the way.
Glad it helped!
No, you can't make Siri say that. However, you can easily avoid hearing anything other than the response to your question if you don't pause between "Hey, Siri...." and the question. Just spit it all out in one go: "Hey, Siri, what time is it?" Siri will then tell you the time. You will know that Siri is active because it will have answered the question.
Thanks for the info. I am also trying to help my 87 year old mother use Siri. Maybe I am just old fashioned but the uh huh just irks me and well basically it is not intuitive for my mom and it is hard to hear even at top volume for her. I do appreciate the responses though.
Siri's responses are based on what or how you ask it.
Lol. I just turned 60 myself!! The Siri volume instructions were helpful. Thanks. I did leave feed back for Apple on this issue.
