The only problem I see with increasing the noise level, is even if it is the
loudest thing you ever hear in the cockpit, pilots will sometimes tend to block
the sound out.
Just ask most of those who made an unintentional gear up landing.
When I was flying retracts (up to 15 flights a day), I would check to make sure
the gear was down and locked no less than 3 times before I touched down.
