Siri no longer double beeps when opened

Since taking the newest upgrade Catalina 10.15.1 on my iMac, Siri answers the questions, but the listening double beep is missing. Anyone else?

iMac 27" 5K, macOS 10.15

Hey SkyLilly,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand Siri isn't working as expected since upgrading the macOS. Siri is a great feature, and I want to make sure it's working as expected for you.


To start, if you haven't already done so, I recommend restarting your Mac. This is a simple step that can resolve a wide range of issues. You can find the steps for restarting here: How to turn your Mac on or off


I also recommend taking a look at the resource below. There is an accessibility feature that can change the beep with Siri if you're not using headphones. See how to double check that setting here: Change Siri preference for accessibility on Mac


Lastly, resetting PRAM/NVRAM may help as well checkout how to go about that here: Reset NVRAM or PRAm on your Mac


Thanks again, and have a great day!
