in a number of these accidents we hear of the mayhem of alarms going off on the flight deck. no doubt making it even more difficult for pilots to try to think clearly. while audible alerts are obviously helpful if one goes off, they rapidly achieve the opposite of the desired effect in a full on crisis.

just thinking out loud, but does it makes sense at some point to have them shut off when they system senses the pilots are trying to respond? they obviously know they need to recover but being screamed at by hal non stop is not delivering any kind of useful infromation at that point.
