Boeing planes do have some features like that, one is called GPWS ("Ground Proximity Warning System") and it yells things like "Sink Rate, Pull Up"! and then it makes obnoxious "Whoop! Whoop!" noises. There's also the "stick shaker" which literally starts violently vibrating the stick (which is basically in between your legs so it's impossible not to notice) and also makes a lot of noise. But I don't believe any amount of aural warnings will help a pilot who has decided to leave the autopilot on below 1000 feet when it's perfectly obvious the plane isn't correctly configured at all.
