Is there a switch to cut out the landing gear warning horn?  I know where it is on the 737, but can't find it on the 757.

Thanks for any help.

With this 757 you have to stay at around Flaps 15 speed or the horn will serenade you.
When you pass the IAF, bring speed to Flaps 20 and lower the gear so you don't hear the horn.  Then slow to Vref+headwind+5kts to threshold.

I might have used the wrong term - but this is the horn you get with idle throttles.

In my case I was at flaps 5 with a descent to final on autothrottle.  Throttles were at idle, horn was singing away.  On the 737 there is a horn cut out for that purpose on the lower right side of the throttle quadrant.  You can see pilots use it quite often in videos  in the same scenario.  (300-400-500).
