Any way to stop the egg song?

I think it's more likely that the hen's calling is stimulating to the rooster, causing him to respond to her, with the net result being as you said: that his genes do get passed on.

Well, you got this bit right.

Randomly throughout the day, sometimes when and egg is not even layed a silkie hen will make a sound that sounds like "cawk cawk cawk KA KAWK" loud noise. Im going to be moving them into my neighbor hood soon and I dont want yo annoy my neighbors but that loud song. I hear you can train chickens to be quiet by spraying them with a bottle of water when they are loud but that seems really in-humane to me. Any Ideas?

Chickens will also sing the egg song when one finds a new spot to lay. Friend of mine gave me a small coop last week. It's about 4ft off the ground. I opened it up to see what would happen. Within a couple of hours about 5 were standing under the door singing away. 15 minutes later 2 were inside fighting over the corner spot

I don't know enough about your setup to say.
The so called egg song is a hen calling her rooster to let him know she has laid an egg and the rooster, wanting to make sure his genes are carrried foreward will locate the hen and mate with her before any competing roosters can.
The hen may also call for the rooster to escort her to the nest site where she wants to lay her egg.

My girls sometimes psyche me out, I'll go check the box, no egg. " Ha, ha! Made ya look!"
