You might need to dig around for the codes, but with tools like OBDeleven, I've found that on my Audis most of the things that are like that can be turned off. I've done all sorts of things, from adding a gauge sweep (even though it's digital, I like the effect) to turning off the seatbelt warning (my partner unbuckles when we get in the cul-de-sac) to customizing the keyfob (in summer I can open the sunroof with a long press of one of the buttons), etc.
