Do you have trouble falling asleep or concentrating on tasks at hand? White noise can be the solution to drowning out distracting sounds and creating a more peaceful environment. With the ever-increasing popularity of smart assistants like Amazon Alexa, it's easier than ever to have a source of white noise just a simple voice command away. How to get Alexa to play white noise on repeat with this easy, step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Enable a White Noise Skill
Before you can ask Alexa to play white noise, you'll need to enable a white noise skill. There are several free third-party skills available which provide differing types of white noise and ambient sounds. Some popular options include:
- Sleep and Relaxation Sounds
- Sleep Sounds by Sleep Jar
- Ambient Noise
To enable any of these skills, simply say 'Alexa, enable [Skill Name] skill' or search for the skill in the Alexa app and tap 'enable.'
Step 2: Play White Noise
Once you've enabled a white noise skill, you can now create a more peaceful atmosphere by having Alexa play the sound. Depending on the skill you've chosen, the commands may vary. Here are some examples of commands to use with the most popular skills we mentioned above:
- 'Alexa, open Sleep and Relaxation Sounds.'
- 'Alexa, ask Sleep Sounds to play white noise.'
- 'Alexa, open Ambient Noise and play white noise.'
Step 3: Set the Loop
To keep the white noise playing on a loop, you will need to use the loop function of your chosen skill. Most of the top white noise skills will automatically loop the sound by default. However, if you need to confirm or enable the looping feature, simply follow the commands or instructions provided by the specific skill. Examples include:
- 'Alexa, ask Sleep and Relaxation Sounds to loop.'
- 'Alexa, ask Sleep Sounds to play white noise on loop.'
That's it! Now you know how to get Alexa to play white noise on repeat. Enjoy a peaceful and soothing environment, whether you're trying to fall asleep or simply need to focus on work or studying. Remember to customize the settings and choose the right type of white noise to suit your preferences and enjoy a more relaxing and stress-free space.
