My neighbors from Saudi Arabia ?

Question

I have neighbors in my apartment that live above and below me( they are from Saudi Arabia)...at times when they have music playing they make a sound that sounds like "Ahla la la la la" its high pitched..what does this mean and what is its significance in their culture

Answer 1

planning another 9/11 attack hahahah joking Well praying i think !!  

Answer 2

it's probably the "Adan" or "call to prayer", Muslims pray 5 times a day, they call it "Salah"

Answer 3

lol... I had to smile at this one..

Ask me.. has it correct.. its just probably cause they dont know all the words and just singing like anyone would..

exactly.. like in english you would say Fa la la la. well I guess its ah lalalalala in arabic.. hahaha... doesnt mean anything particular..

Still I am laughing..

(it is NOT a prayer or call to prayer.. no music during that time)  

Answer 4

It means '' good '' or Excellent

when they see each other with dancing motions

they encourage each other by this word

Answer 5

Well, they are not praying for sure, prayer is with no music. I could say those people are bedouins and this is their way of singing. it is a way of singing just by saying Ya la la la lah ........ . it has no meaning at all and it is not even an arabic words or something. It is just a bedouin traditions.  

Answer 6

This is the sound that women make when the bride enters the room.  It's recorded on a lot of tapes, so I'm sure it's just the tapes they're playing that have 'wedding' music.
