Dean,
mmmmmmmm. if you have access to a db meter you might want to check your actual cockpit sound pressure level at WOT. I expect it may be well over 110dbc. Depends somewhat on what sidepipes you have on your car as well.
I think you may well find a 102 db warning buzzer is completely obscured when you're standing on the throttle.
