I've found stall horns annoying in high performance flying. It's the
physical signals the airplane gives, not alarms, that tell me a stall is
imminent. You should really learn to feel the aircraft and not rely on
horns, bells, whistles, gauges, etc. They WILL fail some day...

Do many pilots recount hearing the stall alarm on the turn to final and
then saving their own butt? Or are stall alarms only effective when they
go off high above the ground?

Most definitely! Low altitude is where they save your butt.
