How to disable USB device on Linux Mint?

This disturb me because of sound of plugged/unplugged device, even when sound is muted (I setup 0% volume, and the sound icon in taskbar is grayed)

How to prevent this?

@jww: yes, those are better. May you please move topic there? — Eugen Konkov, Jan 04 '18 at 14:55

This command seems helps me:

echo "2-1.5:1.0" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb-storage/2-1.5:1.0/driver/unbind
