Default Back-up alarm

Hi all,
First time posting here. I recently purchased a 2017 F-350 Platinum. I absolutely love this truck. However I am trying to find out how to disable the very commercial sounding back-up warning alarm. not the in-cab one that tells me I'm getting close to something, I'm talking about the external "hey anyone that may be behind me, I'm backing up" one that you hear on construction vehicles.
any help appreciated.

If it is the type I think it is,
consider this,
The way some people drive these days that alarm can save someone a lot of trouble.
What you might try is to find the alarm which should have one wire feeding power to it when the trans is placed in reverse. If you interrupted that wire with a simple switch that you can turn on or off , you could have some control over when it sounds.

Thanks! Yeah I agree that it could make a number of situations easier. My biggest concern is around getting into some campsites depending upon when we arrive and early mornings when I was not able to get backed into parking at home.
