IIRC, the panel has a supervision voltage across the bell terminals, similar
to what Napco does.  With Napco panels you can sink the voltage (and kill
the low volume tone) by wiring a 2200 Ohm resistor across the outputs.
Presumably the same will work on DSC, however, it may be possible to program
the feature out.  I rarely program DSC so someone else will have to tell you
for sure.
