Playing Continuous White Noise on Alexa: Your Ultimate Guide

Jan 7, 2025

Want to create a soothing atmosphere in your home or help drown out distracting noises while you work or sleep? Playing white noise continuously on your Alexa device could be the solution you're looking for. Here's a step-by-step guide to set up persistent white noise playback through Alexa, keeping your focus sharp and your relaxation at its peak.


Step 1: Enable a White Noise Skill on Alexa


Firstly, you need to add a white noise skill to your Alexa. You can do this by saying, "Alexa, enable white noise," or by searching for a white noise skill in the Alexa app and enabling it from there.


Step 2: Choose Your Preferred Sound


Within the skill, you might have the option to select from various types of white noise, such as classic white noise, brown noise, pink noise, and more. Pick the one that best soothes you.


Step 3: Start the Playback


To play the white noise, simply say, "Alexa, open [Name of White Noise Skill]" or "Alexa, play white noise." Your device will start playing the sound you selected.


Step 4: Loop Your Sound


If you want to keep the white noise playing continuously, you can say, "Alexa, loop on." This command ensures that Alexa doesn't stop playing your chosen sound after it ends the first time.


Step 5: Set a Sleep Timer (Optional)


If you intend to use the white noise to fall asleep, you may not want it playing all night. Set a sleep timer by saying, "Alexa, set a sleep timer for [time duration]." Alexa will turn off the white noise after the specified time.


Step 6: Stopping the White Noise


When you're ready to stop the white noise, simply say, "Alexa, stop," and Alexa will cease playback. Remember, you can always restart the white noise by repeating the playback command.


By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the calming effects of continuous white noise in your home or office space with ease using Alexa. Make sure your device has a stable internet connection to prevent any disruptions.


Tip: To improve your experience, consider exploring different white noise skills to find the one that offers the best sound quality and variety for your needs.
