For the number constantly blaring, you have to press that same number again to get it to stop; I learned that from a friend who had that same issue, apparently it's a voiceover bug that still hasn't been fixed yet. I have issues where siri is slow on my end too, it likes to do this thing sometimes where it automaticly does the tone like I said nothing right after I activate it. What model phone are you running?
