Siri’s initial response is “uhuh”. Can I change it?

When I say Hey Siri, she responded with Uhuh. On my previous iPhone, Siri said something more formal.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Siri is much smarter now. You no longer have to wait for a response from Siri before continuing your request, so you can say “Siri, what is tomorrow’s weather?” as one phrase. Siri will only say “uh huh” if you pause after saying “Siri” or “Hey, Siri”, sort of the same way your friend would say “uh huh” (or possibly something ruder) if you said “Hey Susan” and then stopped.
