No, this tone is in ROM and occurs before any other
software is loaded, therefore it cannot be bypassed
with an alternate software routine like an init.

You can, of course, do two other things:

1) Put a mini-phone-plug (1/8") into the
speaker output jack.  This gets rid of the
all sound.  A little bit primitive and 
overkill.

2) Plug in a speaker/amplifier/volume_control
box into the speaker output jack.  This
is available from Radio Shack and would
allow you absolute control.
