you can get out of the car, you won't hear that chime anymore :-)
You can take a piece of metal/plastic in the shape of the belt clip and insert it in to the receiver. That should silence the noise.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility if you do the above and you get in to an accident. I strongly suggest not to circumvent the restraint system.
When you want to buckle the belt on, then you can remove that piece and insert the belt clip.

im not a seatbelt monitor, to each his own, but there are times when I'm just moving my car a short distance, or even in a mall parking lot and its annoying, especially when youre on the phone. I don't mind the chime, but it seams to go on forever!

You get time before it starts chiming. If I don't put it on, I can insure exact.y where it will start to chime. It is like 20 sec before it starts. Go to a junk yard and buy a seat belt piece, keep it in the console and plug it in when you don't wear your belt.
