copy/paste of my ticket to EA help, they told me to repost it here... I got to the Kett base on the ice planet and SAM is verbally harassing me. The base is scattered with the heat things and every time I run towards one or away or even get in the general vicinity while heading somewhere else, SAM tells me "the temperature is normal" or "the temperature is falling". I figured that interaction out about 5 minutes into the zone and this is just getting completely annoying. I was forced to stop playing a few minutes ago because I feel like I'm about to go crazy due to SAM's incessant griping. I need a way to make SAM stop telling me when the temperature changes. I also want a way to make it stop doing the popup notifications in the center of the screen since I can already see when the life support needs change in the lower left of the screen. Turning off the mining zone notifications would also be nice.

For those on PC who want to disable the majority of SAM's voice prompts, here's a mod that does this: http://www.nexusmods.com/masseffectandromeda/mods/111/?

Fully agree! While they are at it, maybe they can add a way for me to jettison some of these annoying companions out of the airlock!

SAM acts more like a VI than an AI in this regard, which tells me the developers who were in charge of creating the SAM feature of the game were basically lazy idiots. How could I think otherwise? They left him on "mindless warnings mode" and thought it was a good idea, and called it a finished product ready for play. Like many have asked here, do they even play their games before taking people's money?
Downloading that mod now, if it does half the things it says it does I'll be more than happy. Again it shows how lazy the devs of Andromeda were, as it takes an amateur modder to step up and fix things that the company really should have taken care of.

I have to say, I'm trying this mod right now and so far it's absolutely brilliant. The quietness.... the lovely sumptuous quietness. Icing on the cake is that the name of the file is SHUT UP SAM. Love it.

That mod may help with the PC edition... but it offers no assistance with the playstation version. Sometimes, SAM is too quiet when it comes to quest updates, but when it coms to environmental warnings he's too loud, making it impossible to hear the nearby NPCs, especially on the ice planet as mentioned where there are heaters everywhere.
As far as I'm aware, there's no means of modding the game on PS4, so the only way to fix it would be adding some means of lowering warning volume. Second best would be an on/off switch for them, but I'd prefer them to be a little on.

The game is out of Studio support for years now, so I am afraid there won't be another patch.
