Not on any currently produced switch.

(I'm getting tired of repeating this...)

The only CO switches which were ever designed that there might be an
audio path to the called end before off-hook are old brossbar and panel
switches from the late 60s and early 70s.  These switches are exceedingly
unlikely to have been retrofitted for CNID; the LEC's will probably
have simply put it off until they installed a digital switch... which
_doesn't_ have an available audio path down which to spoof the CNID
before off-hook.
