Not quite. This is just a beeping stall horn that goes off at a discrete threshold. I imagined an audible AOA that would produce different tones for different AOA, so that you could use it to gauge AOA that is less than critical AOA. How is that useful? You could use it to hold the plane a notch below critical AOA during maneuvers, like a dive recovery.
It would sound something like an audible variometer. You'd probably want to automatically turn the audible variometer off perhaps when current AOA got within range of critical AOA.
Surely this exists already. There are AOA indicators that provide a visual readout of current AOA over the entire range.
