It can be deactivated via software. The Everyday Driver guys have a video about deactivating their GR86's noise maker at the dealership on their their YouTube channel. They show the service tech with a tablet plugged into the OBD port and after going through only a couple menus, it appears to be a simple setting toggle.

My dealership confirmed they can kill it on my BRZ as well. They didn't discuss price.
Not sure why you would go this route, though. Unplugging it is literally a 5 minute (or less) job and then you can plug it back in anytime you want.

Maybe it's just me (as I feel this about a lot of things) - why have someone do for you something you can as easily do for yourself? FYI, I absolutely hate things like valet parking, doormen, people carrying your luggage, etc. - so as I said, it may just be a "me" thing.
