Siri intelligence chime sound is awful, like nails on chalkboard awful!

After being prompted to turn on Siri Intelligence, I found the noise it makes horrible. I know from another thread there were many who hated the mmmhmmm sounds she used to make, but I found it endearing and even soothing. Thankfully, I found by turning off the intelligence feature I could go back to sounds I like. It would be nice to use the new features but the new background chime sends me screaming away with my vibe in complete shambles. Any solutions?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

There is no sound setting in Sounds & Haptics for Siri. So you either use Apple Intelligence with Siri and get used to the new sound, or you turn off Apple Intelligence altogether if the sound is that objectionable to you. Personally, I'm not bothered by it. I wasn't bothered by Uh Huh either. I'd rather have the sound however, as opposed to turning Apple Intelligence off. It's kind of a cut off your nose to spite your face move.
