Since today (11-12-2025) i have a different voice (not really a problem) but also an annoying metallic pitch in the generated WAV. This was not a problem before today.
Today, 12-12-2025, after 8 minutes in a generated .WAV file, i thought i heard a fire engine outside. This was also in the WAV and not outside.
Is this related to the adjustment beneath and can i solve it or is this being resolved already?

Starting on this date, you will automatically get significant improvements in expressivity, pacing, and overall audio quality. To ensure a seamless transition, the new models maintain many characteristics of the previous version.
What you need to do
No action is required from you.
No code changes required: Your existing API calls to gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts and gemini-2.5-pro-preview-tts will automatically begin using the new model.
Same here. If generating several minutes of speech, after a few minutes it sounds more metallic / degraded. ALSO, the PACE increases as the speech progresses. I gave very specific performance notes to instruct that the pace should be even throughout the entire script, but it does not work. Metallic sound and uneven pace needs to be addressed.
