Parental Controls Voice - how to switch off?

Is there a formal or informal (hacking?) way to turn off the warning voice in Parental Controls? As the time for forced logout approaches, the voice booms out at full volume and then gives a countdown. Visual warnings are fine.

No accessible features have been activated - this only happens with Parental Controls.

Thanks. Will try tonight and report back. I assume you mean in the account which is being "controlled". I think I already looked at this from the admin account and they were unchecked. Didn't think of looking at the user's account.
