That’s about all we use ours for

“Alexa... play white noise”

“ALEXA... stop”

Do you notice that it randomly fades out and then fades back in every few hours? I don't understand why it does that.

Is it pulling a track from their music archives? Maybe it’s just a several hour long loop and the date is when it repeats.

Yeah, that is kinda my guess, but it doesn't seem to be predictable... sometimes it happens within a few minutes, other times it takes an hour or more.

Then I'd assume it's a playlist, and some tracks are just longer than others.
