Do you have audio ducking turned off? Turning it off has interesting effects on several things. Also, do you use an Airplay device? If I use Airplay I have to restart my phone before SIRI works again otherwise it does exactly what you describe, SIRI beeps to listen and immediately beeps like when it stops. I rarely use Airplay right now because of this and hope Apple will fix this soon.

Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2014 1:25 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Anyone else having trouble engaging Siri? I often cannot engage Siri and my speech disappears very often. I’m trying to figure out if this is a bug or if this warrants a visit to the apple store. If I am in Safari and I press the home button to engage Siri, I get a tone and then a bong. I cannot use Siri unless I go back to the home screen. Often, I will completely lose speech after using Siri. I also have this same problem when using the messages app. I did a complete restore on my phone and set it up as a new phone. :( The problem is still persisting. I started from scratch just to make sure. I am on a iPhone 5S running the latest iOS version 8.1.1. I am an avid Siri user and this has become a real frustration. I also sometimes cannot engage Siri at all via the home button when I am at the home screen and I have to do a phone restart. I have tried everything that I can think of.
