Yes. Just last night, we were watching TV, so in the same room with the TV. Out of the blue, my phone said "uh huh?" which is the new, highly literate, way Siri responds to "Hey Siri" only no one said anything very close to "Hey Siri." But, either it was lonely, or it thought it heard it's wake up phrase.
That has happened a couple of other times as well. Of course, Alexa does the same thing. It often plays its "I'm listening tone" when no one has said "Alexa" or "echo" in other rooms. So, it doesn't seem to be unique to Siri.

Hello, Recently on my iPhone 12 Pro Max I have noticed something strange happening with Siri. I am alone in the room and the only sound is the TV which is in another room. I have Listen for hey Siri enabled and have done so for years without issue. Recently however, I have heard Siri say “Hello” and other such phrases followed by the tone one gets when Siri is no longer listening, IE the second of the two tones. I have heard that the A device is often triggered by background sounds but have never found this to be the case with Siri. Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks.
