Ambient noise level

Whenever there is an alarm, or drop in, I wish Alexa would adjust her volume so she can be heard above other noise in room.

Turn the volume up to a comfortable level.

Right.  Keep Alexa volume level at midpoint.  Tell it to set volume to level 5.  You can go up or down a level if you need to.

I might listen to music on 2 or 3.  Later the wood stove is going, TV on, pets and kids barking.  Alexa needs to hear the noise in the room when she is playing an alarm or drop in, adjust accordingly.

Presently, this seems to be no way for Alexa to recognize ambient sounds and I automatically adjust its volume.

Was just thinking, a second volume setting for alarms and interruptions would solve this.

There already is a separate volume setting.
