iMessages suddenly reading out loud

Recently, my iMessages have occasionally been reading themselves out loud to me when I have my AirPods in. Not sure why or how to stop it. Any help would be appreciated.

You can turn this off in Settings>Notifications>Announce Messages with Siri and toggle it off.

No sound on incoming imessages - but only if sender's phone is in do not disturb Occasionally I do not get a sound notification when I receive a new imessage, even though the Ringer and Alerts level is high. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so, how did you fix it? fwiw, this seems to happen only for senders who have their phone in 'do not disturb' mode (half moon icon.) Thanks, ik

Why is mine so quiet!? I can’t hear texts over music? Can’t find how to make the read aloud notifications for texts louder so I can hear them while running with my EarPods playing music? Of all the settings, where is this one hidden?

My audio messages are fluctuating in volume when I record it While recording audio messages on iMessage the message comes out so low and Midway picks up. It only happens on iMessage I tested it out on Instagram Snapchat and WhatsApp send audio messages are perfect why is this happening on iMessage. I am using speech to text while typing this so it is not my microphone it is iMessage please do not give me articles on cleaning microphones because that is not the issue. Thank you and hope I can hear from somebody soon.
