An indicator for an AoA meter could consist of something as simple as

My glider does all sorts of things as it approaches stall. It gets
awful quiet. The stick starts shaking. The vario plummets. If I manage
to miss all these clear signs, why would a small flashing red light
grab my attention?

Because, unless you're offering an open invitation for me to fly your
glider, I've flown a number that don't give such clear signs,
particularly in landing flap.

And can you imagine what would happen with a stall warning sounder?
Pilots used to flying with gear-down warnings would anxiously check he
undercarriage lever ... subconsciously pulling back to give themselves
a bit more time ...

Did I say anything about a sounder?
