The easiest way to disable the light and alarm would be to ground the sensor wire. If your problem is in the sensor or engine and you choose to go on ignoring it, this will in fact disable the alarm. If that doesn't work, take the instrument cluster circuit board out and look for the buzzer.

If you have a bad or disconnected switch, you could drive with no oil and your truck wouldn't know a thing (until you seize/blow up) .
What causes the oil pressure sensor to come on?

Why is my oil light flashing and beeping?
Why is my oil light flashing, and the car beeps??

Why is my oil light on but my oil is full?
What does it mean when the oil light comes on? When the oil light on your dashboard comes on, it might mean your vehicle has low oil pressure. This drop in oil pressure could be a sign of a few things: you are low on oil, your oil is dirty, or you have an oil leak.
How do I reset my oil light?
Hold the Reset Button and Turn the Key
Watch the oil change or maintenance light carefully. It should start to blink. Allow the light to blink ON and OFF for a few seconds, then release the reset button and turn the ignition OFF.
How do you fix low oil pressure?
The increased bearing clearance allows oil to flow faster, lowering pressure in the entire system. Similarly, wear in the oil pump might bleed off pressure before it gets into the system. One way to fix oil pressure in this case is to use a higher-viscosity oil, such as switching from 5W-20 to 10W-30.
How long can you drive with oil light flashing?
Generally speaking, you have about 2 weeks or 500 miles of driving before a flashing oil light turns into a legitimate problem. But once it hits that point, things can go downhill fast, leading to serious mechanical damage. So, try to get your vehicle into a mechanic sooner rather than later.
Where is the oil pressure sensor located?
The oil pressure sensor is often located in the engine block near the bottom of the cylinder head. But it can also be installed on the cylinder head. It will have a block connector attached to it and have 1 or 2 thin wires attached.
Is there a fuse for oil pressure sensor?
The oil pressure sensor has a fuse, but there are probably several other things on the same fuse. If the fuse is blown, then you'd see more than just the oil pressure light not working.
What will a bad oil pressure sensor do?
When your oil pressure sensor is about to fail, the Low Oil light will blink on and off. This can be quite frightening to a car owner since low oil could cause significant damage to an engine. Continually checking your engine oil is not only time consuming but also stressful.
Do you have to drain oil to change oil pressure sensor?
Let me answer my own question - you don't need to. After letting the engine cool, I removed the oil filter canister (letting it drain first), and then the oil pressure switch. Only lost a few drops of oil. Turned out my low oil pressure light was due to a leaking oil pressure sensor.
How long do oil pressure sensors last?
Like all of the other sensors and switches on a car, the oil pressure sensor is built to last just as long as the car does. Generally, this will not be the case due to the wear and harsh conditions that the sensor is exposed to, it will usually become damaged and will have to be replaced.
Why does my VW Golf keep beeping?
It is the oil pump circulating oil through your turbo. Open your hood after driving the car and take a listen by the turbo. The discussed beeping sound is definitely not the oil pump. The beeps continue for a long time, not just when the car is cooling down.
