One thought, I chose the announce time each quarter hour using the daniel voice. This was done in the configuration area where that time choice is made, there was also a voice option there. This was to make it sound distinct fromn the default voice so it was brought to my attention in the default voice background chatter.
Perhaps in those notifications where daniel appears that voice choice was chosen by mistake somehow. It might be worth rummagingaround in notification settings where voice selection is made to see which voice is selectived.
