Claude's silent TTS update changed the 'Airy' voice, breaking a user's 5-month memoir project

A Reddit user reports that Claude's TTS voice 'Airy' completely changed in tone, pitch, and cadence after an update, while the original preview sample sounds unchanged. The user had listened to the voice 4-5 hours nightly for 5 months while writing a 500-page memoir and relied on it to stay grounded. The case highlights how silent model updates can break long-term user dependencies.
