A persistent bug affecting Amazon Alexa Plus has caused certain Echo speakers to repeatedly chant or sing the word “lalala” for extended periods. This glitch interrupts user interactions by forcing the device into an endless loop of vocalising nonsense without acknowledging the command. Reports surfaced on Reddit over the last few weeks and include video evidence from multiple Echo models. When users attempt to query the system about the behaviour, the voice assistant appears completely unaware of the situation. Amazon confirmed awareness of the defect to Android Authority but provided no immediate timeline for a fix.
The malfunction highlights a significant reliability issue within the new AI subscription tier. It demonstrates how the system can drift from responsive conversation into uncontrolled monologue when its internal logic fails. This behaviour erodes trust in the subscription service by creating awkward social situations during normal household use. The problem persists across different speaker hardware, suggesting a software issue rather than a device defect.
