When you select 'Voice 5' you will hear the non-binary gender-neutral Siri voice right away. This voice may be in the ear of the beholder. For some users, Voice 5 may sound feminine still. For other users, it may sound a little masculine still.
Is Siri a “she?” Not really! Siri actually has no gender (if you don't believe us, just ask it). Siri had a default female voice for many years, but you had the option to change it to a male voice instead. You can even give Siri six different accents: American, Australian, British, Indian, Irish, or South American.
Alexa, whose name is generally associated with women (derived from the Greek alex + anders = “defender of man”), is feminine presenting (Loideain & Adams, 2020).

Siri sometimes becomes upset when insulted. If you want to upset Siri, comment on her voice. Say something like, "Siri, I don't like your voice." Then, wait for the generated response. Responses will vary.
In reality, the hack doesn't work and if you do tell Siri “17,” you will unwittingly be calling for emergency services. According to the Siri user guide, iPhones automatically call the local emergency number no matter what emergency number you say.
14 is the emergency services number in some countries (akin to 911 in the US). If you say "14" to Siri, your iPhone will call the emergency number in the country where you currently are.
