Siri Acknowledgement Beep

I recently upgraded my iPhoneSE (2nd Generation) to iOS 16.2. I am pretty bummed that Siri's acknowledgement beep - that cheerful "bloop bloop" sound - has been replaced with a dull, boring, and harder to hear "thung" sound. Is there any way to get that cheerful acknowledgement back???

Siri "beep" no longer on CarPlay? Since - well - forever, when I would invoke Siri to sent a message while on CarPlay, I'd hear a "beep" or prompt to enter my voice or respond to what Siri transcribed. Since upgrading my Iphone 14 to Ios 17, I no longer hear this. Is there a setting? I've searched and cannot find anything. Thanks in advance!

Siri acknowledgement tone Is there a way to change the tone the iPhone makes when you say, "Hey Siri?" With one of the updates, that tone changed, and it is hard for me to hear despite having the volume all the way up. I do have a minor hearing impairment and wear hearing aids, but it sounds like such a dull thud, like you hit the top of a metal barrel. I don't have any trouble with the voice when it's actually talking, it's just that initial tone.

Siri - Verbal response Since uploading iOS version 18.1.3, when I say "hey Siri", I no longer hear any verbal response such as 'mm hmm', and furthermore, there is no visual indication on my Apple CarPlay screen that Siri is listening. This is a significant issue for me, because I frequently do long trips during which I ask Siri to do certain things such as make phone calls hands-free while my iPhone is in my pocket.

It was eliminated because it is no longer needed. You don’t have to wait for Siri to acknowledge before completing your request. Just say "Hey Siri, what is today’s weather?” without waiting for acknowledgement.
