I personally can't stand the things.  Fortunately on your car the
entire system is housed in one relay module.  Find it, remove it, and
never worry about it again.  Of course if you want it then it is
likely the switch Ti is talking about, or wiring to the switch.

If you want to remove it open the underhood fuse box.  It is relay
position 3.  Mine was gone within hours of purchase 5 years ago along
with all the seat belt warnings as I can't even move my car in my
driveway without instinctively putting on my seat belt so the last
thing I want is another buzzer.
