9to5Mac spotted this element in the tvOS 18.2 beta of tvOS.

A part of code called AdBlocker appears to use the Shazam API to match audio captured by a device's microphones against audio fingerprints downloaded from Apple .

When there's a match, the usual Siri trigger command is disabled.

This means Apple could have devices not react to the "Hey Siri" prompt.
