I've been doing this for many years. At the casinos I frequent, doing it
won't stop the music, or decrease its volume, but it is effective in keeping
looky-loos (and potential robbers) from hanging around, pointing, and asking
questions.
On some newer machines, you must press the "see pays/help" button in the
lower left on the touchscreen. And on a few machines, nothing you do will take
the jackpot off the screen.

Of course to the winner it may sound like a joyful noise.
Immediately press the 2nd hold button, which will bring up the
paytable screen and temporarily stop all or part of the sound. The
hand screen (and sound) will return after a minute or so. Repeat.
I tend to delay the return to the hand by stepping through the
paytable with a button press once around every 30 seconds ("bet
up"/"bet down" ... 2nd and 3rd hold buttons IIRC).
