In my experience, it’ll work for the most common ‘random noise’ reasons – but not for some of the weirder causes. This is definitely the first thing to try, however, because it might give you the exact reason why it did something. This update was rolled out to the UK in March 2020, although support in other countries varies. Ask Alexa DirectlyĪ September 2019 Alexa update in America allows you to ask “ Alexa, what just happened?” or “ Alexa, why did you say that?“, and Alexa will hopefully reply telling you why it made that unexpected noise. When your Alexa is making weird/unexpected noises, there are a few things to check. Phew, that’s quite a long list of random – and sometimes creepy – sounds! Let’s take a look at some of the most common reasons for them playing – and crucially, how to stop them! How to Stop Alexa From Beeping, Laughing Or Chiming ![]() A train sound, described by /u/mitalis on Reddit as a “magic effect backwards”! There’s even a YouTube video capturing this odd noise – which is still unexplained to this day.A “ringing” sound (like a phone call is being received, even though no call is setup).Static or feedback type noises, just like old radios and TVs would make back in the day.A “creepy laugh”, which some people have said is “evil” sounding – not what you want to hear at three in the morning!.It's your ego being in the way, caring more about being right than doing good.My white Echo Dot 2nd gen making a random noise.įrom my own experience of owning an Echo and speaking to others (along with scouring the internet), some of the weird noises that Alexa randomly seems to make includes: If I had to guess, that would be because it's not effective at all, maybe even detrimental to what you're fighting for. They all objectively do more than me, and yet not a single one of them wasted time trying to shame me because I "didn't do enough". I've met a lot of wonderful people that do lots of things to help other people, and try generally to improve the world in their own way. I do not feel any shame about it, just like I don't feel any shame because I don't contribute to most software that I use, or that I don't help every single person that is going through a hard time. Meta commentary about the platform or the owner is noise to me. I'm on twitter because some people that I follow and some friends are on twitter, and I want to see what they say. Silencing of journalists, banning accounts for saying mastodon, for saying anything negative about tesla or criticizing Musk in any way is a net positive to my twitter experience. Even if it is only specific third-party clients - then even the job of searching for and finding a different client is more effort than I want to put towards this site and its new ownership. With a client app you never saw people you didn't follow anyway, and so as long as it's more effort to leave than stay. I've been using third-party clients for over a decade, every time I've had to use the site directly it has been a nightmare. I've not had an actual reason to physically move over yet though forced to use the site would be that. Meanwhile I've collected lists and screenshots of where the people leaving said they were going. Despite yours, and apparently the new owner's perspective, not everyone on twitter talks about or cares much for Tesla and metadrama, it's the people we follow, and how.īut half of my timeline, and most of my colleagues have left, the only thing that has kept me on so far is that the Tapbots Mastodon app isn't ready yet, because I like their UIs. Yes, if this inconvenience is the case, this is definitely the last straw. Good job, Twitter quitters! Welcome to the club. We live in an age where it's impossible to live an ethically pure life, so I'm happy to celebrate steps forward as people take them. If this disruption to their usual method of consumption is what pushes them over the line, great. It's not only unsurprising to me that some take longer to quit than others, that's part of what made me leave: to undermine, ever so slightly, the rewards for staying. Most people stayed either because they decided Twitter was a net positive for them or because Twitter is a habit-forming drug, or a bit of both. There have always been reasons to quit Twitter and reasons to stay. Ultimately, I just couldn't stomach supporting Musk by continuing to view ads, contribute content, and give people positive feedback (via likes and retweets) that helped them stay: īut I don't think that people who stayed are necessarily morally defective.
