Gear Warning Horns -How loud is yours

Understand an Essendon Seminole VH-ZWI landed wheels up at Point Cook last week. Happens to the best of us. Understand that this particular aircraft gear warning horn was very weak in volume. Is this common in most PA 44's ?

Assessment of the loudness in stall warning as well as gear warning horns, is subjective - depending on how deaf you are. I doubt if the horn efficiency is checked as part of routine maintenance while at the same time not many people think of defecting these in the maintenance release. Might save someone from a wheels-up one day.
