Really? I get "Emacs cannot exit because buffer %S is locked".

A ding is obnoxious to many people. It could be added as an option,
but it is not really necessary IMHO. You can use
(defadvice emacs-lock--kill-emacs-query-functions (around do-ding activate)
ad-do-it
(unless ad-return-value (ding)))
(defadvice emacs-lock--kill-emacs-hook (around do-ding activate)
(condition-case err
ad-do-it
(error
(ding)
(signal (car err) (cdr err)))))

Getting into the habit of typing without reading what Emac is saying
is dangerous because you can end typing Y to a question you would've
rather said N...
