Voice coming thru Arc during movie

This has happened a few times recently. While watching a movie, the sound volume will drop momentarily, and a voice (obviously automated CG) says “Yes?”. This doesn’t seem to be in response to anything said in the movie. It is not Alexa, but a polite gentleman’s voice.

It seems to be an automated response, but not sure why it is happening. Any ideas?

You have Sonos Voice Control turned on.  The system thought it heard ‘Hey Sonos’ and is waiting to hear your voice command.

 

The Gentleman is Giancarlo Esposito.

If you rewind the movie does the voice repeat?

Is it?  Great, now I’m never going to not hear Gus Fring every time I use SVC. 😐

Thank you for this response. I tried the “Hey Sonos” trigger and received the “Yes?” response through Arc. Apparently there have been phrases in recent movies that sound like “Hey Sonos”. I don’t believe Sonos was mentioned in “Dune”.🤣
