Disabling the Cisco "Lower your voice alert"

AACC's Cisco desk phones are equipped with a "Lower Your Voice" alert feature.  The lower your voice alert is enabled by default. When you speak loudly, a warning message is displayed on your phone screen.  A tone also plays if you continue to speak loudly after the first warning.  This alert functions when using handsets or headsets only (not speakerphone).
