I know this has been talked about before but I can't seem to locate the post. I'm using the latest version of IOS on an IPhone16. Whenever I'm scrolling on facebook using the siri voices I'm hearing weird noises kind of like a growl, it sounds freeky to be honest lol. Is there a way around this or does anyone know what's causing this?
Thanks

Hi, I haven’t seen this. :-) Hope to help by Nadia.
Hi Troy, I’ve never seen this particular behavior. Are you using the Siri voices with VoiceOver itself? Also, which region are you using and what language? I don’t tend to use this voice with VoiceOver per se so I wouldn’t know if this is happening on my end. I stick with the vocalizer voices for voiceover. Hopefully somebody can give you a better idea. I’m sorry I’m not more helpful.
I believe Siri voices do something similar with new lines
I have seen the Siri voices do something similar when entering a bunch of new line characters followed by text. if you want to test to see if that's what it is you're experiencing, try sending a message to yourself or somebody else with some text, followed by a bunch of new Line characters, then more text. In my experience, the more new line characters you add, The longer it would make that noise for. I've seen this since iOS 17.
The series voices have always seemed to have issues when being u
As my subject line indicates, I have been using iOS since iOS 13. Anytime you try to use a voice as a voice voice there is problems. They either crash your phone completely for voiceover over, they end up, not speaking smoothly enough so all the words are almost as if they’re broken apart, they have very strange inflection issues that they do not have when they are being used with, and they are just overall not great with voiceover over even though they are technically available for Voice. It seems to be that whenever you use the voice is outside of the environment itself. It’s like the processor of the phones and iPads are not able to handle it. I have an iPhone SE third generation as well as an iPad mini sixth generation, and they are both running the latest iOS and iPadOS 18.5. I don’t know why that is as far as the nature of the voices. That’s why I tend to stick with the vocalizer voices for voiceover. Hopefully you will come to a resolution soon. I’m still curious though, what country in region voices are you using? This may come into play in determining what the problem could be cost from. :-) Hopefully that helps you.
