Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Me at 3am, feeding my newborn child: “hey siri, volume 10%”.
HomePod screams back: “OK I’VE SET THE MEDIA VOLUME TO 10%!”
i notice with shortcuts/automations I can preset/reset the media volume at, say midnight so it’s quiet again for the morning. Is this possible with voice volume?

No, ‘automatic adjustment’ does not work at all. I just whispered, in a silent house, to turn off some lights (having just put my child to sleep) and the HomePod yells back, weirdly loud.

Siri's volume can follow the media volume, be set independently, or can be set to adjust automatically. Try a long press on the HomePod in the Home app, then Accessory Details > Scroll all the way down > Accessibility > Voice Feedback > Automatically Adjust Siri Volume.
You can set a specific level with "Hey Siri, set your volume to X%" and "Hey Siri, what's your volume?" will get it to report on the current level. Your volume is Siri, volume or media volume is everything else, and the one you can control from say the lock screen. I don't think there is a way to automate changes for Siri volume.

Then turn that option off, use "Hey Siri, set your volume to X%" and see how you get on with that. (I always put a little emphasis in there.) And use Feedback - HomePod - Apple to Apple know things could be better.

Thanks for the automatic adjust tip. It was already enabled… I’ve disabled and re-enabled. Hoping this works as it sounds ideal.
