I don't know if today's test is the same thing or not, but I remember in
the last X years where there was a presidential test of the EAS and
there was supposedly no way to disable it short of turning your device off.
My understanding is that -- let's go with -- lesser priority sources can
be silenced, but sufficiently high priority can't be. If the device is
on, it's going to make noise.
