Hi DozyWannabe,
Even if we confine the data set to accidents after the launch of the A320, there have been more ignored shaker warnings than there have been ignored aural "cricket" warnings.
If you have a look at the CVR transcript from page 23 onwards:
http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp...nexe.01.en.pdf you will see that the "C-chord" (Altitude Alert) was on continuously until impact. It was only interrupted by "cricket" "Stall Stall" and GPWS warnings (higher priority).

The crew didn't acknowledge the continuous "C chord" (which could have been easily cancelled).
Does that, plus all the ignored "Stall Stall" warnings not suggest to you that they never "heard" any of the audio warnings?
