Honestly mine acts as if it's haunted. I keep it on most evenings for white noise and every so often, like maybe every 4 weeks it starts making these weird distorted noises almost as if someone is trying to talk through it. Lasts about ten minutes then stops. Feel like sprinkling some holy water on it! The power of Christ compels you, Alexa! It sometimes boops in the middle of the night too as if it's heard someone talking to it, but nobody has.
