Hi Phil,

My understanding is that they changed the Siri sound to make it more 
identifiable to people with hearing loss.  However, I agree with you.  I think 
it’s much harder to hear, especially in noisy environments.  It’s one thing to 
make it lower, but it also seems much quieter.  I wish they would give users 
the option to choose between it and the old Siri sound.
Cheers,
Donna
