How do I change the 'mm hmm' response after saying 'Hey Siri' on an updated iPhone?

I just got an updated IPhone. What is this “mm hmm?” response after I say “Hey Siri”? How do I change it?

H1290 is completely correct. If you wake Siri, then pause, all Siri is doing is letting you know you were heard and Siri is waiting for your response. It would be no different, if you called me name and then didn't say something as I can assure I might not be as polite as saying Uh Huh. Nope, I might say "WHAT?" if you didn't say anything after calling my name.


As H1290 suggests, don't pause. Just say "Hey Siri what's the temperature outside?" As opposed to, "Hey Siri...............what's the temperature outside?"
