I meant something like an unintentional lisp at the end of your
sentences that the microphone is picking up. You could try asking the
same question before and after drinking some water or eating some dry
crackers to see if a drier / wetter mouth helps, for example.

It could be dirt in the microphone that rattle around while you speak
and scratchily settles down and is picked up by Siri as a "word" after
you have finished speaking. Speaking louder perhaps means the dirt
doesn't stop rattling around until after Siri has decided you've
stopped speaking.
