 New Delhi: Amazon has added ‘Whisper Mode’ to Alexa-enabled speakers and made the speakers smarter. Now this device will sound more like a human. When you whisper to them they will whisper back to you with this mode activated, instead of talking aloud. 

This mode is practical when you have someone sick or a baby struggling to get sleep. The whisper mode volume has to be controlled separately; this mode will make Alexa devices speak in lower frequency without disturbing others. To get this feature activated, you will have to command Alexa to activate whisper mode or turn it on using the app. 
Amazon Alexa devices are the foremost to get the whisper mode. Google hasn’t revealed any plans yet to bring this to its Home devices.
