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

Yes, I have exactly the same issue. In addition, I had the sounds for my incoming text messages not working. After changing them a few times, they began to work again but the Siri beeps remain disappeared. I get the vibration as you do but no beeps. Most of the time this would be OK but not so hot in the car where you really don't want to look at the screen to see if its activated, not that I recommend car usage anyway.

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!

So it won't work with the iPhone 7?

iOS 9 Siri no longer beeps, just vibrates.
