Thanks all for the input. Sounds like Stephen's approach is the only way to get rid of it. Seems like that setting will apply to other sounds as well, but I'm OK with that.
As far as using AppleScript, I'm using revCopyFile because the dictionary claims there are "certain advantages" to using it over "put URL" or any other method, amongst which is that it does not require reading the file into memory, and since some of these files could be pretty large, that's significant. On a Mac, it also displays a progress bar which I don;t think would be possible if I used "put URL".
