The game has a lot of alarms already, albeit visual ones, including some you might not be aware of, like the vertical speed alarm.  Observe the red light beside the vertical velocity indicator.

They tried to add an "overheat" sound early in the game, but took it straight back out because it was pretty much on all the time XD

It might be more useful now.  How I envision it, a single warning "beep" when a part begins to heat up (i.e. when its thermometer bar would appear).  Above 50%, a steady slow beep with pitch determined by temperature, above 80% a pulsing alarm.  There'd only be one alarm, not one for each part, with the worst overheating overriding the others.

Other useful auditory notifications might be the traditional airplane seatbelt "bing" when you've slowed down from re-entry to the point it's safe to deploy your parachute.

You could install a radar as an "optional part" which would click slower and faster depending on how far you were from the ground.

There's an alarm that does that last thing but as far as I can tell it's a one-trick pony:
