Hey Glo58,

First, remove your case or screen protector, if applicable. Then, test to see if the issue is related to microphones on your iPhone: If the microphones on your iPhone aren't working - Apple Support

If not, let's test Siri in other apps and functions. Does it happen when using Hey Siri or when invoking Siri with a button?

Do you have any Bluetooth devices connected to your iPhone? If so, let's disable them for now and test without. If that resolves the issue, it may be related to the Bluetooth device: Use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in Control Center - Apple Support

If the issue isolates to the iPhone and continues after those steps, reach out to Apple Support for assistance: Contact - Official Apple Support

Take Care.

Thanks! I had done all these and finally called apple support who still couldn’t help. I read a reply from someone about the same issue, and he said to change the language from English American to English United Kingdom. Believe it or not, that is the solution that worked. I don’t know why, but I don’t care. Thanks so much for answering me and you might throw this in when you answer someone else about the same situation because it appears many are having this problem.
