There is a program called 'silence' that will kill most any speaker noise.
The only problem with running such a program is some other programs will 
overwrite the code.  i.e. steal the interupt that the silence program was
taking. but this is rare and few between.

I'll see if I can't post you a copy in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.
