On saturday I bought such a DVD drive.
A few days before I found this page:
http://www.artec.org/EN/ie4/def/dvd_dvddrives_dvd106

There you can download a tool which is able
to set the "quit-mode" permanent. I tested it
and it works fine. I can't hear my DVD anymore.

The only disadvantage is, that this tool only runs
under Windows.
