Change the voice. The Uh-Huh seems to be associated with the South American Female voice option.

For instance the American Male has proper, respectful, intelligent sounding replies. I’m sure others do as well, you’d just have to try out different ones.

Or just don't wait between "Hey, Siri" and your question. Siri only says that if you pause. So, no pause, no uh-huh.

Posts are 2 years old. It"s now OCTOBER 15/ 2021 and no solution yet? Come on APPLE ! Same problem...

As it is unlikely that Siri responds the way it does by accident, Apple is no doubt well aware of the choice they made and continues to like it and does not view it as a "problem". While I highly recommend you submit feedback, in this case, I suspect it won't have much effect.

Can someone post the actual solution to this? Everybody is conversing about it but nobody has actually told us how to stop this annoying response. It’s unprofessional and stupid and I want it to stop.

I've given the "actual solution" probably a dozen times in this thread (at least) and other people have given it too. But, one more time. Do not leave a pause between "Hey, Siri..." and your request. Say it all at one go. E.g., "Hey, Siri, what time is it?"


Apple Wth!

What has also been explained a dozen or more times in this thread is that Apple doesn't read here for feedback or suggestions. You can let them know your thoughts here:
