Alexa just really, really wants you to hear her.

Amazon is rolling out a new feature for its popular voice assistant that will prevent it from being drowned out if your environment is noisy. When activated, this new adaptive volume mode will allow Alexa to determine when the volume needs to be increased in order to be heard over any background noise.

The feature will initially only be available in the U.S. To activate it, simply tell Alexa to “turn on adaptive volume.”
