Your guess is wrong. When up on jacks doing retractions and throttle/flap configuration warnings are tested, the gear warning horn is something "maintenance" are looking at/listening to. That's what they are there for. At least while I am in charge they bloody well are! What's the point of doing the farkin functional otherwise?
If it sounds like a sick cow, change the farkin thing!!
If you can't hear it over the sound of the hydraulic rig, how the hell is a driver gonna hear it over the scream of a coupla vacuum cleaners on the wings?
For those electric beasties, same thing. If it is only just audible in a silent cockpit, common sense prevail pleeeease!
I think I need a quiet lie down.
