Does anyone know when is the Duomo in Siena open on Sundays? I'd imagine service would take place in the morning and open to public in the afternoon, but I can't find any specific time.

Hi
Here's the official website - http://www.operaduomo.siena.it/eng/orari.htm
1:30 on Sundays.
The visitors' website makes no special arrangements for Sundays. In my experience, this isn't unusual in Catholic cathedrals. Complete blank outs on Sunday mornings is much more a feature of visiting arrangements in Protestant ones.
Masses go on all the time, every day of the week. In Italy it's common to find casual visiting discouraged during the main, often sung Sunday Mass on the High Altar (in Siena's case, 11-shortly after 12, though there are also 0800 and 1215 Masses) - but even then, it's rarely objected to (much) if there are visitors. Mass, especially the main Sunday Mass, isn't a silent service: the characteristic noise of Catholicism on a Sunday is babies crying, toddlers being shushed and latecomers finding their way to the pews.
But almost whatever time (or day) you visit, there's a high chance you'll coincide with Mass being said in one of the sidechapels. Just behave with decorum. And, however forbearing the congregation, YOU might feel more comfortable avoiding the main Sunday Mass unless you're planning to attend it.
