There is a sensor in the bottom of the resevoir, just unplug it. The sensor has a float in it, so when it gets low it activates the light. By unplugging it the circuit will be open.

If you're having the buzzer go off (really loud, you'll know if it's the low oil/coolant/redline buzzer) it's not from your low windshield washer fluid. It's likely one of your warning lights doesn't work. Check your coolant level and oil level.

Just for the idiot light::::::::: remove the AFM/FILTER. Look for a black plug with four wires. One wire Green, one Blue, one Black and another Blue with orange stripe.
Extract the GREEN wire from the plug and cover then end with shrink tubing or tape to prevent it from touching gnd. Then reinstall the plug.
Or you could cut the green wire which is not advisable since it's just as easy to remove the wire from the plug. But if you do, leave enough wire length at the plug so you can splice it back together at a later date.
Extract the GREEN wire from the plug and cover then end with shrink tubing or tape to prevent it from touching gnd. Then reinstall the plug.

Silly idea, but have you filled up the reservior to at least make the light go out?
The low-washer warning is not connected to any buzzer, so it's something else. Exactly where is the sound coming from. The redline/coolant/oil buzzer is in the instrument cluster, and there's also a beeper in the CPU by the driver's foot for lights on, key in, etc.
Have you checked the oil and coolant (in the radiator) to be sure?

If it's the redline/coolant/oil buzzer then you'll know it. That buzzer is made to be heard at redline so you know it's loud.
Here's a quick reference...
"EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."

I know I am getting old, but...
Windsheild fluid warning light?
I've had my vert since new, and for the life of me, I never remember seeing such a warning light.
Is it on the 88 model vert? If so, where is this light located?

When you turn the key to ON, which light doesn't come on? Thats the one that is buzzing. 
I would stop driving your car until you know more.. It COULD be really bad. I would err on the side of caution.

I love it when my washer fluid is somewhat low.. I can use it as a G meter around corners. If the light doesn't come on, I'm not hitting the corners fast enough.

Here's the washer fluid light on an S4:
I think the S5 is in the same place.
