Called Canadiantire, they answered in 2 minutes and cancelled my order (for the wrong safe) instantly. Total phone call took less than 4 minutes, needless to say Im pretty impressed.
Order the correct (smaller) safe for 59$
HUGE THANKS to mike r32a for pointing this out to me

Ok, here ya go, just did mine... Be careful not to apply too much heat!!
First remove the four screws from the metal back.
Expose the circut board. Speaker is circled in red.
Remove the ribbon cable by gently pulling away from connector inline and the other connectors
These are the two solder points we will be de-soldering
Carefully heat and gently pull the speaker from the other side, work from one pin to the other.
Other side of the circut board with speaker removed.
Reinstall all cables and back onto the safe door.
Put cover back on, press red button, release when yellow light lights. Enter combination, then hit the 'B' button, or
whatever methood your safe requires for resetting combo. Safe will now work as before without the annoying noise...

Just in case there's still some skeptics about the legality of what a safe is...
Websters New World Dictionary:
Safe - "a locking metal container for valuables;"
So I'm to believe that just about any metal case is considered a safe as long as it locks and is intended to store valuables, interpret it as you want but those words are directly from the book and are undisputable.
Huh... can I then transport my pistols to the range in my "safe" without a trigger lock?

No, mopar guy...
TRANSPORTING is very different from STORING.
Unless you happen to be a peace officer or some other individual with an ATT to carry a restricted or prohib firearm at work....
You handgun MUST be trigger (or cable) locked, AND in an opaque, locked container when transported.

I did notice that you kinda depend on the audio feedback when opening the safe, it is a bit eerie having no audio feedback. As stupid as this is going to sound to some folks, I ended up practicing punching the code in a few time/day just to make sure I am pressing the buttons hard enough, since there is no audio feedback anymore. I have practiced by tactile feel and using a small LED light attached to the safe just for that reason. I am reasonably certain I can now retrieve it as quickly as I could before but the only noises are this. Noise of the sheets rustling as I get out of bed, the whisper to the wife to call 911, she already knows to keep the lights off. The slight squeak as I open closet (working on lubing the bi-fold), a slight clunk as the solinoid throws the safe's bolt, the sound of a mag being slammed home and slide racking....much nicer!!

By rights, if you mount one of these in your vehicle, you could transport it all the time could you not? IF stopped, you could always claim you are on your way to the range/gunsmith/potential buyer.
OTOH...I remember seeing a metal box. slide out drawer that fit beneath the back seat of P/U trucks, neat, made just to lock your firearms in.

I'm looking at picking up that Canadian Tire safe too but have a concern. According to regulations:
Is that safe built or modified specifically to store firearms safely? It doesn't mention anything at all in the safe's info about storing firearms, only "valuables", although I'd sure consider my guns "valuables"

I think that it means "a room that was built or modified specifically to store firearms safely...", like the ones in military barracks, which are not like a bank vault with a 2 ton door, but a room with cinder block walls, metal door/jamb, 2 dead bolts, alarm etc...
A vault or safe should be fine regardless of what it was designed to contain, it's the security level that matters... though I could be wrong as the legislation is very vauge...

Oohhh, I see what you mean. So that statement could also be read:
