New user of a PIxel 9 on Android 15 and it's doing this annoying thing where it uses a synthesized voice to announce emergency alerts. It reads out the entire alert message. I want to receive the alerts, but I don't want them read out loud to me.

I have the Talkback function turned OFF. I know some phones have a setting to enable/disable "Speak Alert Message" under the settings for wireless emergency alerts, but that setting is missing on this phone.

Help?
