According to the documentation for the Tone on Hold Timer service 
parameter - set the value to 200000 to eliminate all beeps including 
the first.  This is from 4.1(3) and may be different in the version you 
are using.

Tone on Hold Timer:
This parameter specifies the number of seconds between every two hold 
tones that are played when a call is put on hold. For non-MGCP-based 
devices, if this value is 0, the held device will play the hold tone 
only one time when t e caller is put on hold; if the value is 200000, 
no hold tone plays; otherwise, the held device will play the hold tone 
every so many seconds (specified by this value) repeatedly. If the 
specified value is less than 5 seconds, the device will raise it to 5 
seconds. For MGCP-based devices, the hold tone is disabled if this 
value is 0 or 200000; any other value will enable the hold tone on 
MGCP-based devices when the caller is put on hold.
This is a required field.
Default: 10.
Unit: sec.
Minimum: 0.
Maximum: 200000.
