Activating Siri vibrates instead of making a sound

Because an iPad can't vibrate. It's intentional for iPhones to not beep when you activate Siri via the home button moving forward into iOS 9. It will if you use "Hey Siri" for obvious reason of it not typically in your hands if you're using that feature.
am I correct in thinking Siri would beep in previous versions even when the phone was muted?
what I would have appreciated would have been for it to respect the mute switch, and only vibrate in that case. but would have still liked the beep when not muted

Of course its a bug!
proof being that my iPad Air two still bleeps when i press the home button down, but the iPhone doesnt, it stays silent. If it was intended, then it would behave the same with iPad and iPhone. But it doesnt. some devices bleep and others dont. i have over 12 devices, so i know
Yup. It used to beep even when the phone was muted. Got me in trouble couple of times while I was in class and was using the phone on the sly.
Seems like you might have skipped the discussion in this thread that addresses it all. How would it be the same if iPads don't support vibration? It simply can't be the same if they changed the iPhone's to vibrate, the iPads aren't able to do it and thus still make a sound.
