I thought maybe my speaker had gotten old or caught some water, so I replaced it today. Same problem. Once I'm past Morse, seems ok again. Once I'm past O'Dell, seems ok.

Also, my Echo Dot at home, is telling me I have a "noisy connection".

Any thoughts?
The area might be congested with overlapping wifi signals, which are in the same general range as bluetooth signals.

Another possibility - if you are hearing things from your cell phone through your speaker, you might need to update your bluetooth driver on your cell phone. I'd try that first, if you haven't done it already.

A third possibility - you have a legacy cell phone with old bluetooth technology that has been replaced and can't "update". The solution for that would be to get a newer cell phone with current bluetooth technology. That'd be the most expensive option and a last resort.
