The car we traded in a 2016 Peugeot 308 wouldn't release the handbrake and made a noise like a bloody nuclear alert if you attempted to move the car with a door open! I think personally there should be a noise to back this up as the drivers attention should first and foremost be out the windscreen looking ahead.
I do think i would have noticed this sooner but not everyone is the same and we are still transitioning from the previous car.
What if for example a small child is in the back and for some reason the child lock is not switched on? Door could easily be opened by the child without an audible warning as the driver would probably be focused on the road ahead. I just think this is an oversight especially given the safety standards of Volvo.
