Change Siri's listening tone and change the volume.

One of our vehicles is older and has no Apple CarPlay. I use a bone conduction headset for hands free, and it’s a noisy environment. The Siri “listening” tone changed a few iOS versions ago from the signature “bong bong” (say your command) “bing bing” (message received) tone to a very low pitched tone.


It’s very difficult to hear the “listening” tone, especially in a noisy environment. I’d like the ability to change it to spoken words “how can I help?” Or different tones. Custom tones even. Even Majel Barrett’s voice. Anything….

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
