Default Circuit help needed

My 10 is equipped with a stall warning horn that the previous builder installed.

In checking the stall system, I have now found that the sound level of the factory horn is woefully inadequate.

I am looking for a simple electronic circuit that will generate a signal, that can be input into the intercom, in lieu or the factory horn. My PS intercom will accept audio warning inputs.

I figure the knowledge is out there in the VAF database, so if someone knows of a chip, or simple circuit that works on 12v, and will make a really obnoxious tone that can be controlled by the factory stall vane switch, please let me know.

I am trying to work with what I already have, so the idea of installing an AOA is not high on the list of options.

As always, thanks in advance to all.

Default Something like...

Something like this might work for you. I haven't studied it in detail, but the range of power inputs and adding a volume control (Don't know what the input range is on your audio panel) might do what you want.

Default Warning

I have noticed that in a time of stress one of the first senses to be ignored is hearing. For the various warning signals that I have on my plane, I use a large diameter, very bright red LED that is immediately in front of me on the panel. No matter which way you are looking that light will get you attention!
