Is there a way to get Siri to stop saying uh huh when I say “Hey Siri”?

I’ve seen a lot of discussions about this but no solution except “talk fast enough that she doesn’t have a chance to say it.” I saw one person responding (don’t remember where) that they asked Siri to stop saying uh huh and she said okay. I tried that and she just said she didn’t understand. Is there a way to get her to stop saying uh huh? Because for some reason it’s really annoying. It’s too casual and human-like for a voice assistant. I don’t want to change Siri’s language from American English. This is for an iPhone SE 3rd gen, no iOS updates available.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

Try it, but you'll be disappointed. That won't stop Siri from saying Uh Hun if you pause after waking Siri. It just keeps Siri in listen mode longer after you've stopped asking Siri your question. There is one and only one way to stop Siri from saying Uh Huh and that is to NOT pause after waking Siri and simply ask your question with NO PAUSE after waking Siri by name.
