Siri voice is too loud and I can't adjust it's volume

My phone volume is set to 10% and my ring volume is set to to 5% and if I speak to siri it responds so loud that the speaker is distorting. If I tell Siri to lower the volume it will, but is still responding at full volume. I have tried restarting my phone and it hasn't changed the volume level for Siri. It's extremely annoying.

iPhone 5, iOS 10

this started happening to me today too. literally shaking my desk. the "speak softer" command that's supposed to control the siri volume separate from media volume doesn't work, she keeps saying "This is as quiet as I can speak".


really frustrating that apple does not let you change this setting.

Siri's volume is independent of the system volume. To know Siri's current speaking volume, say: "Hey Siri, what's your volume?"


To set Siri's volume: "Hey Siri, speak at 50%." (or other %.) ...Or: "Hey Siri, speak louder / softer."


Or:


Whilst Siri is speaking, press the volume buttons up or down. (If Siri isn't currently speaking, ask Siri to tell you a joke or recite a poem.) Then next time, Siri should speak at the volume you've just set.
