So you think having 3 green lamps in every real airplane is not a good
idea to prevent landing on it's belly?

And when you deploy spoilers on the beginning of final lets say 300 AGL
there is lots of time to put the gear down without geting panict by a
"beep".
But I would also prefer the voice module...

If I was going to install a wheel warning I'd prefer a silent indicator
near the top of the panel to a noise of any sort, for instance a single
bi-colour LED that is off with wheel up and brakes closed, dim green when
the wheel is locked down and brighter red if the brakes are open with the
wheel up or not locked down.

Don't forget that there are circumstances when you'd want to open the
brakes when not intending to land: obvious examples are when shedding
height at the end of a flight preparatory to joining the circuit, to
avoid being sucked up into cloud or when coming down at the end of a high
wave flight. In these cases a loud buzzer or a vocal warning would be an
unwanted distraction.
