Default DIC tones

Anyone know how to decrease/disable tones when pushing DIC buttons on C6? I can not seem to find it in owners manual. Buddy of mine has no sound, which I like, but he did not know how to disable tones either.
Thnaks in advnce.

I've read that replacing the factory radio with an aftermarket will take care of that.

Unless you replace your radio, all you can do is make the tone louder. It has two user-adjustable volume levels. Default is the lower volume.

Yep, you get your choice of loud or louder.

Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is used to adjust the vehicle’s chime level.
To change the volume level of the chime, press and hold
pushbutton 6 with the ignition on and the radio power
off. The volume level will change from the normal
level to loud, and LOUD will appear on the radio display.
To change back to the default or normal setting,
press and hold pushbutton 6 again. The volume level
will change from the loud level to normal, and NORMAL
will appear on the radio display. Only one chime will
be heard when changing from the normal to the
loud setting. Each time the chime volume is changed,
three chimes will sound as an example of the new
volume selected. Removing the radio and not replacing
it with a factory radio or chime module will disable
vehicle chimes.

Default Thanks Calemasters

Thanks Calemasters.
At least I now have a lower chime sound. The loud chime would wake me up when driving.
