Basically any OpAmp can be used in a comparator circuit.

A zehner diode (above a 10k resistor) will give you a fixed reference (say 20V), which you divide via a resistor + potentiometer (i.e. adjustable resistor), to about 12V.

Then you also divide the battery voltage by two identical resistors, i.e. to U_battery / 2. Then comparator via OpAmp and you drive some piezo buzzer or other "loud noise" generator of choice.

(I never built such a device, but I'm pretty sure it'll work as described. Probably somewhat temperature dependent, but not to a relevant degree. I'm willing to draw a circuit diagram if needed.)
