When your Echo starts beeping, it’s probably not because it’s broken. Instead, you may need to adjust the volume on your device or check for notifications from other services.
Here are a few reasons why your Amazon Echo might beep:
If you’re getting a lot of calls on your Echo, you can do a few things to make it stop.
- If the green ring flashes or pulses when an incoming call comes in, there’s an active voice call connected, and Alexa is waiting for your response. To turn off this feature, open the Alexa app and go to Settings > Voice Control > On-Device Controls. Under “Call,” select Off from the dropdown menu at the top left corner of your screen before clicking the Done button at the bottom right corner of the page.
If the Echo is beeping on the hour
If the Echo is beeping on the hour, you can easily turn off the reminder sound by saying Alexa, stop.
You can also turn off the hourly reminder by going to the Alexa app and turning off both options (hourly reminder and daily backup).
Troubleshoot your Amazon Echo
If you’re having issues with your Amazon Echo, it’s important to keep in mind that there are several things you can do to troubleshoot and fix the problem. Here are some of the most common issues we’ve seen:
- Make sure the Echo is plugged in. Try unplugging it and plugging it back in again—this may help if there’s a power issue or something like that.
- Check the volume settings on your phone/tablet (if applicable). You should have ample sound coming out of your device but beeping away? Maybe lower down on the bar would work better!
- Check the mute switch on both sides of the remote control (if applicable). This may be either a “mute” button or a “mute” button located within the handle itself–so make sure both options work properly before moving forward with the troubleshooting process.)
Conclusion
We hope this guide has helped you troubleshoot your Amazon Echo. If not, try unplugging it for a minute and plugging it back in again.
