Siri's voice got more robotic?

So I was asking her questions and all of sudden, her voice really changed. It sounds much more robotic now and kind of depressed and has very few voice fluctuations like it did before it changed. I didn't change anything under settings. Anyone else have this problem? It's very annoying!

iPhone 4, iOS 5

After purchasing a 16GB black iPhone5 in late Dec, I had to get a replacement last week due to the screen coming loose (making plastic popping sounds when pressed). Since, I've noticed that Siri and possiblyl all speakerphone functions such as the GPS/Map features and speakerphone during phone calls have a dimished, distorted, raspy, montone, robotic tone. I have since gotten a replacement twice having the same issue. I will try the iCloud backup or iTunes backup/restore later today and let you all know how it goes.

If you think about it, it says 'ONE voice for SIRI and VOICEOVER' so if you change to another Siri language and downloaded that full voice maybe it returns to compact voice for Siri?

Just the opposite.

" If you are using VoiceOver and enable Siri to use a language different from the language VoiceOver is using, Siri will download the full voice and VoiceOver will switch to using the compact voice."

Sorry I phrased my statement wrong, what I mean is

There is ONE voice for Siri

And there is ONE VoiceOver (but in VoiceOver settings this can be configured)

So if one were to switch VoiceOver and Siri to different dialects and then connect to wifi and charge it would download the full voice for that dialect and delete the old full voice, you could then return to using the old dialect of Siri.
