Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa is currently causing an error that falls somewhere between curious and quite eerie. In the middle of a conversation, it suddenly starts saying “lalala” repeatedly for some users and doesn’t stop for minutes. What initially sounds like a bad joke is actually a bug. Amazon is aware of the issue and is working on a solution.
Alexa Stuck in a “La-la-la” Loop
As reported by “AndroidAuthority,” reports of the bizarre error have been surfacing for about a month. According to these reports, Alexa suddenly starts saying “la la la” repeatedly—not just three or four times in a row. In some cases, the strange repetition continues for several minutes before stopping on its own. It gets particularly odd with one user report stating that Alexa seemed to sing the syllable rather than just speak it.
The whole situation is quite unsettling because the voice assistant can apparently fall into this loop in the middle of a normal conversation. Alexa doesn’t just give a strange response; it suddenly gets stuck on a sound and keeps repeating it. Why it’s specifically “la” remains unclear.

Amazon Confirms the Bizarre Alexa Error
As strange as the reports sound, the problem is apparently not made up. Amazon has confirmed to AndroidAuthority that there is indeed a bug. According to the company, however, the error only affects “a small number of Alexa Plus users.”
At the same time, the company stated that it is already working on a fix. However, the statement does not specify when this will reach the affected users.

It also remains unclear what triggers the endless loop. Some users, according to AndroidAuthority, suspect a connection to a recently released update. However, there is no confirmation from Amazon on this yet.
Alexa Previously Noted for Strange Noises
Such odd voice outputs from Alexa are not entirely new. Just a few months ago, reports of another error caused a stir. At that time, Alexa made guttural noises that reminded users of an animal’s growl.
While the current error sounds different, it fits into the unusual voice outputs of the assistant. Whether the two errors are technically related is unknown.
At least with the current problem, users can breathe a sigh of relief: The fix is coming. However, why Alexa falls into the loop and when the issue will be fully resolved remains open.
