Could it be a three finger double tap was done that muted the speech?
Or, try triple tapping the crown to toggle VoiceOver off and then on again, or on, if it somehow got turned off.

I also could hear the clicking and there was no reason for the watch to stop talking. I do use Apple air pods 2nd gen but the watch rarely connects to them. The first time I told watch Siri to start outdoor walk workout and held the watch close to my ear pod and I could hear it on the earpod. Then it started talking again. No rhyme or reason. Lately when it happens I go to the watch screen mirroring in the Accessibility under the Settings app on my iPhone SE 3. (It does take more than a minute for the watch to connect.) Actually I can’t say I followed any specific steps from here but after a while of trying various things the sound has come back. I have been afraid to try turning the watch off without speech since on Christmas eve I was going to restart it and it went into emergency mode. Luckily that time I was able to get a sighted friend to cancel it. I wish I could be more precise about what I did but I do hope this might help. I am running watch 10 but it also happened when I was running watch OS 9 as well.

It still makes clicking noises when I move around the face and every once in a while a bell tone goes off until I do something that shuts it off. No I don’t remember exactly what I do to get the bell to stop and have no idea what I did to make the speech stop. I asked the watch to turn on VO and it did say that it was on but that’s all I have gotten it to say. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
