You can lower the volume of that sound by pressing the "volume down" key 
(on the top row of the keyboard) when the boot firmware is running.  The 
new setting will persist across reboots.

If you hold down that key for long enough, the volume will go down very 
low, and when the volume is low enough, the firmware won't play the 
sound at all.
