I'm okay with appliance making cute little dings or buzzes but if they chime out a full song it creeps me right out. I'm gonna get the clothes out of the wash you don't have to scream "Mary had a Little Lamb" at me.

My hot water boiler / warmer loudly plays Fur Elise for 10 or more seconds after it has brought a fresh tank to boil. Most of the time I don't care, but at 6:30 in the morning its loud I worry about waking people even with closed doors.

Hold the unlock button for for 3 seconds and it will change the song to 3 beeps. Do it again to mute it.

Thanks. I looked for that functionality in the manual when I got it, but I either missed it or its not there.

Shoot some Great Stuff into the speaker hole. (Not really, no, don't do this with something that heats up).

You could open it up, find the little speaker (probably a tiny little thing) and disconnect it or put some glue in it (like Goop).

I found instructions online on disabling the music circuit without completely disabling the speaker. I think I know just enough about electronics to really screw it up.
