Question: My computer screams at me every quarter hour and I've about had it

Ok so, I have the announce the time setting on, but whenever it does it, it yells at me. It didn't do this before and I don't know what I did to increase the volume so much, but it about scares me out of my skin. I've tried:

  • decreasing the system volume
    • then I can't hear my work.
  • lowering the alert volume
    • does absolutely nothing.
  • lowering the voice's volume
    • took the voice from screaming at me to shouting loudly.
  • I have lowered my EQ app's system volume and overall volume
    • I'm not even sure if that works


Bottom line: I'm stuck and I don't want to turn off the feature because I find it quite helpful, but if my computer jump-scares me one more time, I'm going to lose it and throw her across the room.


Help is appreciated! Thank you in advance!
