Disabling Active Sound

Has anyone actually disabled active sound completely on the G20?

I have a feeling the active sound is somehow linked to a chirping sound that I hear when first starting the car and having it warm up. The chirping is most noticeable when applying throttle or when the car is in the process of reaching running temp. Once the car reaches running temp the sound disappears completely. I have a hunch the active sound like others have reported for the center speaker might be effecting one of the tweeters.

Can anyone confirm if the option to turn off active sound is available in BimmerCode? Or if anyone has done this already?
