Unusual Announcement

[Harold-Babs]

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Today the phone began to announce "1" every 5 minutes. No programs are running.

How can I stop this unwanted announcement?

Hello Harold-Babs, welcome to the Samsung Community! I understand your frustrations about your device having an announcement every 5 minutes. 

You can check your notification history:

Navigate to and open Settings, then tap Notifications, and then tap App notifications. Tap the drop-down menu at the top to select from Most recent, Most frequent, Notifications turned off, or All.

If you’d like to stop receiving notifications from a specific app, tap the switch next to that app to turn off notifications.

It's possible that a third-party app is causing the issue. To figure out what app is acting funny, you can use the Safe mode feature. In Safe mode, your device won't run any third-party apps. This allows you to easily identify and remove the app that may be causing the problem:

You can, as the moderator says, check your notification history to see which app sent the notification.  Settings/notifications/advanced settings/notification history.  If you find the culprit, you can go to that app's settings and either turn off the notifications or uninstall the app.  If it just started happening, it's probably from a recently installed app.  If you don't find the notification in your notification history, you can download Good Lock and the Nice Catch module from the Galaxy store and turn on sound history.  This should give you an indicator of the offending app.
