I upgraded to iOS 9 and if I hold the home button, Siri does not beep and I feel vibrations. And the sound appears only if I change in Siri´s volume settings the speaker to iPhone or if I swtich off vibrations, but then I don´t have vibrations. I tried to reinstall the software fourtimes, but nothing happens. I don´t know wat is wrong.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9

Apple is not reading here. You can submit feedback here:
Meanwhile, have you tried the workaround that has been given several times in this thread?

With the iPhone 6S and later, "Hey, Siri" is an option. There is still a beep when activating Siri that way.
You can also submit your feedback to Apple here:
So I understand this is an upgrade of iOS…
How do we fix it?
In other words, how do I get the beat back?
If I'm driving down the road and I hit the button wanting Siri to talk, I need the confirmation beep. I don't need to be looking at the phone while I'm driving…
Turning OFF the vibrate feature for "all" instances of vibration is about as stupid as the new change!!!
It's not the vibrate that I mind, but the absence of the beep acknowledgement.
All systems have that. If Apple wants to offer it without it, at least allow them to have a switch to make a choice!
... and by the way, when are we going to fix Siri.
Actually, it's not Siri but using "Bling" for the "voice-to-text" that is the issue.
BLING is trying to interpret my sentences instead of what I actually "say", word-for-word!
This is disastrous!!

This is not a "new" change. It was introduced almost two years ago with iOS 9.
No, the workaround I explained is not an ideal option. However, unless and until Apple makes a change it's your only option. Send your feedback to Apple.

What is "Bling" and what does it have to do with Siri?
Please Apple, Make that beep optional (through settings, perhaps at the accessibility section).
I use my iPod every day and I discovered Siri could be very useful for my mother. My mother became gradually blind a few years ago and now she can't see at all. Before purchasing her an iPhone I trained her on my iPod Touch to use Siri and finally, after saving for a few months, I purchased her an iPhone SE just last week.
I became very frustrated when I discovered that, despite having the same operating system on my iPod Touch, she cannot enjoy of a beep alerting her that she can start talking to Siri on her iPhone.
Please Apple, make that Siri beep optional. A few lines of code from your side will potentially make life far more accessible to Blind people (specially the ones that become blind in the middle of their lives which, by 2014 were about 3 million only in the United States).
Thank you in advance.
Thank you Matouš,
I have actually tried just today the different options described in the thread but these are not real solutions. For accessibility purposes, Siri should beep and vibrate at the same time.
I'l post to Apple; thank you for the link.

With my iPod touch (still 10.3.2) this feature is still available thus making it much easier to understand when it's time to talk. Audio feedback is important specially for blind people who REALLY get profit of all the advantages that only Siri offers on mobile phones.
if you activate Siri on the iPhone with the Hey Siri feature it will make the beep
it always beeps even if I press the home button on the iPod touch and the iPad in iOS 9.0 and it still does in iOS 11.0.3
But on the iPhone 7 and 8 it won't vibrate or beep
there’s no sound anymore only two short vibrations on devices with vibration motors. you are not experiencing a bug.
same here. No beep on iPhone 6 after iOS 9. doesnt even vibrate unless phone in silent mode. iPad air 2 still beeps.
It is obviously a bug. I'm experiencing the same issues as you are on my iPhone 6. My iPad mini 2 works fine on iOS 9.
I'm not sure if this is a intentional design or bug. It certainly does not get me a better user experience. A little googling suggest people started experiencing this since beta 3. My iPad works fine it's only on my iPhone 6.
iOS 9 Siri does NOT beep.
