Is there a solution to change the voice of Siri in notification announcements?
Unfortunately this doesn’t work. Siri sounds robotic instead of the the American 4 voice.

My Siri voice is what I downloaded and selected. However my announce notifications is more of a robotic voice. Please help.
Hi there Hector_721,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We do have information for changing the voice of Siri, especially when you have Announce Calls or Notifications enabled.
First, walk through these steps to change the voice of Siri:
Then, make sure you have the settings to announce enabled.
The Siri voice you've chosen should reflect for your Announce Calls or Notifications once it is fully downloaded.
Take care.
Thanks for the update Hector_721.
When you change the Siri voice to anything else (not American 4 voice), does it sound similar?
We'd also recommend making sure your iOS is fully updated:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
All the best.
Thanks for working through the update and providing an update, Hector_721. Since the voice still comes out muffled and robotic, the next best steps would be to work with our support teams. You can reach them through this link:
You can also contact our phone support directly through the number listed for your country at this link:
Contact Apple for support and service
Take care.
OK Hector_721. We do have a newer iOS 15 update available to the public now, iOS 15.1.
We'd recommend updating to iOS 15.1, restarting your iPhone and testing Hey Siri again.
Let us know how that goes.
Best regards.
That’s the same problem I have and I can’t seem to fix it.
It does but it only changes the Siri that I ask hey Siri to not the announce messages one. Before iOS 15 it worked fine but then I updated and it sounded different.
I’ve updated to iOS 15.1 already. The only voice option for Siri I have is American 4 but unfortunately when it announces my notifications it comes out as very muffled and robotic.
Can I change the voice of Siri when announcing messages?
