when I activate my HomePod OG with a hey Siri command, the top panel gives off a very quiet hissing noise that can only be heard when up close.
It then goes away when not being used, I can only imagine that the HomePod must go into a standby mode until it’s next activated.
But something I’ve noticed is when using my Apple TV the HomePod never goes into standby even if not being used as an Apple TV speaker.
