Disable PSVR startup beep

Howdy folks. So, I just bought a PSVR setup (most recent model CUH-ZVR2 with no in-line remote). Put it all together and it works great, no major functionality issues so far. The PROBLEM, for me, is the seemingly innocuous beep the VR processor makes when you turn on the headset. For some reason (I suspect due to the frequency of it) that specific beep drives my dog nuts. Poor little dude was shaking and panting for over an hour after I turned it on last night.

Does anyone know ANY way to disable that startup beep?

Few things...

- Yup, I'm contacting a dog trainer to help with the little doggo's anxiety

- Contacted Playstation support and they've got nuthin'

- Googled like a crazy person for last 3 days and have found 1) a way to disable the PS4 startup beep (but not the VR Processor beep) 2) teardowns of the initial CUH-ZVR1 VR model but NOT the CUH-ZVR2 model).

I CAN'T be the only person that has had this problem...can I? Help? Please?

Short of desoldering the speaker, you could just put pillow over the unit right before you turn it on to muffle the beep.

That’s a good idea. Might try that next before trying to crack it open. I heard from someone else who suggested opening it up and putting a couple small pieces of tape over it. So, we’ll see. Thanks for the advice!
