Q: Siri does not pick my voice
iPhone 6+, iOS 9.3
Siri doesn't seem to be able to pick up my voice, as if the microphone is bad. However, I'm pretty sure the mic is working. I have no problem making phone calls. Also, if I disable Siri, voice control works fine. It also seems to work fine when I connect to the bluetooth on my car which has a microphone.
I'm not sure if it ever worked on this phone. But it had worked on my previous iPhone 5s in the past. And I remember when you press and hold the home button, it's supposed to chime, which is not happening on this phone. It vibrates and displays the siri screen but doesn't chime.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Siri no longer chimes when you manually invoke Siri (like pressing and holding the home button).
She will only chime when you remotely invoke Siri (like via bluetooth on a headset or car, or saying 'Hey Siri').
Try adjusting the language she is set to recognize, choose a suitable language and country that you are from (she's trained to recognize accents by country) at Settings > General > Siri > Language > Select your language and country.
You can also try using Siri on another iPhone, to test if the problem is with Siri, or specific to your iPhone.
Hope this helps.
Just a small tip: When you use "Hey Siri", you don't need to wait for the chime. Just say your request or command right after "Hey Siri" without a pause.
