The desired result from such warning sounds should be to alert the crew to a problem, but not to overburden the cockpit aural environment.
Instead of: STALL STALL STALL STALL STALL STALL with crickets interspersed
perhaps
STALL STALL STALL STALL STALL STALL STALL STALL STALL ..... with crickets
would be a better choice.
Maybe the warnings should be prioritized also. The C chord altitude alert should be a lower priority than the Stall warning.
After all, you can't fix the altitude until the aircraft is under control.
