In the Citations, you could hold the TCS button down and click the trip or AP disconnect and it would silently turn it off...

hey, the Emb145 called and it wants to be the only plane with an unauthorized unannunciated autopilot disconnect technique

Some Airbus guys would do something similar by clicking the AP off red button on the side stick and simultaneously pushing the EMER CANCEL button.

Honestly, who cares if the autopilot disconnect sounds or not.
EDIT: By this I mean why do some people have a compulsion to make sure it doesn't sound and use all sorts of weirdo techniques to shut it off.

Well, potentially. Your post can be read either direction: Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 - Wikipedia

I mean i don't mind that it sounds... I agree with you its reassuring the system *is* working.How swiftly we forget the lessons of the past!
I dont get the compulsion for people to cancel it.
I think it sounds pretty cool.
I think I'd wiffleball bat a pilot who did that to avoid the "calvary charge" followed by the reversion triple-click.

Exactly. The “cavalry charge” (In my plane) loops both pilots in that hey, George ain’t driving no more and if neither of you meant to do that best to look lively. There might be some kind of Konami code that end-runs the noise but why bother?How swiftly we forget the lessons of the past!

AP Off and EMER cancel was responsible for masking the parking brake on landing for JetBlue at SMF.
I had a crew that didn't understand the use of EMER cancel that had a cargo heat nuisance ECAM.
I inquired why they didn't user EMER cancel and the captain said "I don't trust it".
Meanwhile, they're on arrival, ECAM chimes, the nonflying pilot robotically clears it, assuming it's the cargo heat nuisance ECAM… and it was something else entirely that needed to be addressed".
After block-in: "I'd like to share some observations about systems knowledge and ECAM procedures…"

Kinda surprised we haven’t had a revisit to this thread in light of the JFK runway incursion

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
Type the assigned taxi routing in the scratchpad... just sayin'

So....curious - what shorthand do you use for "hold short" - do you type "hs" or a / or something?
