Cannot switch of time announcement

Hi there,

Though it would be funny to have an hourly time-announcement from my mac. After few times however it becomes boring, but now I cannot switch it off? I have unchecked the "tell what time it is" in system-preferences->clock but it still tells me the time annoyingly..

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Hello Ritzie_nl,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

For more information on this, take a look at:

Resetting NVRAM / PRAM

Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Best of luck,

Mario
