iOS 9 Siri no longer beeps, just vibrates.

I watched a fair amount of videos to make sure this wasn't the new standard. I knew that the iOS 9 Siri would vibrate when activated, but it no longer makes the double-heaping sound when it starts or stops listening. I made sure my phone isn't on vibrate or silent. I send myself an iMessage and the Tri-tone played properly. I also noticed that I'm not getting sound for notifications from a third party app, Kik, when the banner appears, not even a vibration. I feel this problems are linked. Any idea on how I can at least brony back the double-beeping sound for Siri?

iPhone 6, iOS 9

any iOS device with wireless "Hey! Siri" feature will NOT HAVE the Siri beep anymore... Beeps can be heard only if you say "Hey Siri" when iOS devices is connected to the power source or not connected".

I had to join the Apple community to find the answer to my problem....well worth the few minutes to join! Like others I'm not sure how this was changed in the first place (maybe during last update?) but I'm just glad for your help!
