<P class=MsoNormal>Hello, everyone.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Below is the response I got from Apple Accessibility
regarding the changed Siri and start/stop dictation tones since the IOS 16
update.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I urge anyone else with this concern to make it known to
the
folks at Apple.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hopefully, we can re-gain access to the traditional tones
which, in my view, are much easier to hear.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Ever since I updated my IPhone 8 to IOS 16, my Siri
sound,
and the sound used to indicate starting and stopping dictation have
changed.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I used to have the older traditional sounds to
designate
those functions, but now, I get some sound beeps that are much lower in
frequency.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>These new tones are much harder to hear, especially
when
using ear buds while in noisy environments and when using public
transportation.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Is there a way to get the traditional sounds back for
Siri
and for starting and stopping dictation?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>And, can you give me a good reason why Apple
arbitrarily
decided to change those tones in the first place?<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thank you!<o:p></o:p></P>
