I don't fly either jets or airliners, but I can tell you that the

average Joe learning to fly in, or renting, an old Cezzna probably can't

hear the stall alarm because they were never designed to overpower the

noise isolation of today's headsets.


Well...as one data point, my hearing isn't great and I wear an excellent noise cancelling headset but I can plainly hear a Cessna stall warning.
