How do I restore my usual Siri voice after it became high-pitched?

All of a sudden, this morning, Siri started sounding like Alvin the Chipmunk. It was kind of funny at first but now it’s just obnoxious lol. I did not change any settings. This happened overnight. I’m not sure if maybe my phone did an update last night or not? The voice is usually set to an Australian female and now it’s an American chipmunk. Please let me know what to do and also why this may have happened if anyone knows. Thank you. ALLLLVVVVIIIINNNNNNNN

Thanks! It was absolutely not natural at all haha so it’s not that. It was very high pitched and ridiculous. It eventually suddenly it fixed itself before I went into settings. Thank you!

Go to Settings > Siri > Voice > Make sure it’s set to Australian and one of the voices as you wanted. If that doesn’t do it, it’s likely due to iOS 18’s new Siri voice which is more natural.
