Bluetooth Connection Notification

[Jennyyougotmy]

There are whole message boards of angry Echo users upset that Alexa announces in the middle of the night that it is "now connected to , . ." or "now disconnected to . . ." and that there is no way to turn it off.  On one or those boards someone wrote that Google Home Speaker doesn't do this, so I went out and bought some.  Well, Google doesn't use words, but it still makes a loud beep when disconnecting from Bluetooth. Is there a way to turn that off?  If not, why not?  It is awful being woken up when someone else in the house turns off a computer.  Awful product design.

Anytime a bluetooth devices disconnects then yes it will make a noise, saying this, why are you linking devices via bluetooth if its not needed?  I would suggest Casting any music that you want to play (For example from your phone, just cast to the speaker, do not use bluetooth), you will have a much better experience.

Hi All,

First, thank you Ashepherdson for answering the question. I appreciate your help.

Hello Jennyyougotmy, just checking in. Unfortunately, many devices make noises when they connect/disconnect from Bluetooth. This includes cars, speakers, headphones, and more that use that Bluetooth feature. I just wanted to see, do you have any other questions or concerns? We're here to help! Thanks.
