The aural warning at 2:51 in that recording would be at 09:32:51 Zulu, since the recording starts at 0930Z.
According to the timestamps from the FR24 data they reached the minimum altitude on the first landing attempt at around 09:34:25Z
So the aural warning seems to have started at least 1:30 minutes before the first landing attempt, when they above 1400 feet (not sure exactly how high they were, the FR24 data is incomplete, it shows 1400ft at 9:33:30Z, and they don't give any earlier data yet).
So it seems something went wrong quite early. I understand the landing gear not down warning should start at 750ft AGL, and according to the data they were higher than that, so not sure what that chime was.
