Not really for the private owner. My garden tractor has no alarm. My riding lawn mower has no alarm. My jeep has no alarm. My Caddy has no alarm. My work truck does. My golf cart needs no alarm.
I never back up without checking the rear. It's called "Being responsible".
I also don't let kids fool with it without close supervision,
If this makes you feel uncomfortable, by all means, keep your warning beeper active.

But you cant turn off your other vehicles with them still in the reverse gear! That's why they dont have beepers.
I can only tell you that this conversation/argument is as old as this forum. For very person that comes here claiming to not need the buzzer/beeper, there are at least 2 that can tell the story of someone leaving it in reverse and someone else jumping on it and slammin the pedal down thinking they were going forward because, "they never leave it in reverse".
If you leave it connected but muted, no one will leave it in reverse and if they do, you will know it.

As good as you think you are, the buzzer has a purpose, mute it a little, but leave it operational.
