Elt on Impact

Hi Gentlemen,
I flew three hours behind the AF on that day and never even heared one blip on 121.5. My question as a non Airbuspilot, isnt there a elt installed that radiates on impact/certain g-loads? If so, Boeing A/C have them, at least a few ELT Blips should have been heared/picked up by me and other A/C in the vicinity. Can you shed some light on this?
Many thanks,
