That's definitely unusual. In my case listening to some of the synthetic voices for a long stretch drives me up the wall. The less human the voice like Eloquence or ESpeak the more irritating I find it. I guess I've adapted to Eloquence and ESpeak, as I use them all the time with NVDA, but the more human voices like the AT&T voices are definitely preferable in terms of human quality. I find games that use human voices for menus, status messages, much better.
