Siri won't respond to stop an alarm on iPhone 17 Pro

iPhone 17 Pro Siri won’t respond when an alarm is sounding, I was hoping to be able to have Siri stop the alarm. I have the most current update and I tried restarting the telephone. Any suggestions?

iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26

Turn off "Listen for 'Siri' or 'Hey Siri'" in your settings, restart your phone, and toggle it back on to recalibrate your voice detection.

This is a known software glitch on iPhone 17 Pro models where the loud alarm frequency temporarily blocks Siri from processing commands. Because you have already completed a basic restart, the voice assistant profile needs to be refreshed so it can separate your voice from the alarm audio.
