Siri volume issue on HomePod

Why haven’t apple fixed Siri talking volume on HomePod? I ask her to talk quiet and she yells she’s talking at 35 % and then i say talk at 10% and she yells just as loud she is talking at 10% F . This is a joke, and no automatic volume adjustment isn’t even working she still keeps getting louder by herself.

HomePod Siri voice & media volume different Me at 3am, feeding my newborn child: “hey siri, volume 10%”. HomePod screams back: “OK I’VE SET THE MEDIA VOLUME TO 10%!” Why on earth is the Siri voice volume different to media?! the lowest Siri voice can go (hey siri, speak quieter) isn’t quiet at all i notice with shortcuts/automations I can preset/reset the media volume at, say midnight so it’s quiet again for the morning. Is this possible with voice volume? matt

Further away Homepod Mini in another room listens/responds to Siri I have two Homepod minis in a small apartment, one in each of two rooms. When I "Hey siri" and make a request, almost always, the Homepod mini *not* in the room I'm in will be the one to "take" the request, hear it incorrectly because my voice is so far away and muffled, and then respond. The Homepods are not configured in a stereo pair or grouping. There are tons of discussions of people having this issue on Reddit, search for "further homepod responds" "homepod in another room responds".

Siri on HomePod activates anytime a Farxiga commercial is on the television It took a few days before I realized what was going on but anytime a Farxiga (drug) commercial plays on the television, Siri on my living room HomePod responds to it. It replies with something like, "I don't know, but if you ask again from your iPhone I can give you more information". So much for privacy APPLE! It only happens with that one commercial. There are no words in the commercial that sound anything like Siri or Hey Siri, so there is some other trigger. Also, if a friend says Hey Siri to the same HomePod, it doesn't recognize his voice and won't execute the request. I'm convinced despite Apples claim to privacy commitments, there's some sort of kick back going on here. I want to turn it off, but don't know where to do it. Anyone else have this occureance? How do I fix this?
