Hi, Good luck with your Echo Tap. I live in a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment. I do not own an Echo product. However, someone else in the apartment does. Today I was all the way on the North end of a very quiet apartment and I thought I heard one of my neighbors talking outside. When she was still babbling over a half an hour later I was a little annoyed as I was enjoying the quiet. A few minutes later I got up and moved to the South side of the apartment and very quickly realized that the voice was Alexa reading a book in a room I seldom enter. I told her many times to stop and even to shut up. And she ignored me. Laughs! About five hours later her owner came home and she finally stopped. I don't know what set her off but if that happens tomorrow someone is getting unplugged. Maybe Alexa too. Laughs!
