Hey all, new here as I just got my Apple watch a few weeks ago. Really love it so far. One thing I have noticed from time to time that is annoying is the dictation seems almost too sensitive to outside noise. There have been several times I have tried to respond to a text while driving and once I am done speaking, Siri continues to listen due to outside noise, engine noise, etc. Has anyone else had this issue and is there anything you can do about it?

Thanks!

Turn the radio down, roll up your windows. I can't help with the engine noise part. Not sure what you drive but engine noise shouldn't be that audible inside the cabin.

I have done all that. I turn off the radio, roll up the windows. I drive a truck that isn't loud at all. But Siri just sets there with the dictation line bouncing, it definitely hears things a little too well.
