Hi Yuma, I had/have a similar issue. I discussed this with the accessibility team a month or more ago and submitted all kinds of data from my machine. They said that what I submitted was useful and they were working on a fix. This was a couple of updates ago, but nothing has been fixed yet.
In my case, it isn’t system announcements, rather it is just navigating around with Voiceover. It happens to me, on average, every five - ten minutes when I’m really working at my computer. I don’t know if this is because we are power users and are frequently jumping from Safari, to Textedit, to terminal and back again. This only happens on my M1 machine running Big Sur. So, I feel your pain but don’t have a solution for you yet—other than the turning Voiceover off and on hack.
