Shocking how many stations don't have silence detectors these days. Seems like an obvious $1000 investment. 

Agreed. 

However, the company still has to have someone on a close tether, er, on staff who can react to such alerts/alarms in a timely manner...  otherwise, the investment be it $10, $1000 or $10000 is just a waste.... or shareholder equity...
