"Should not" doesn't mean "does not".  But in that situation I would fix
the wiring to ensure that the relay doesn't have a hot signal without the
hazard switch on.  It sounds to me like someone at some point probably
tried to fix a problem with the wiring either without a wiring diagram or
without having to buy any parts.  It would most likely be easier to fix
than to create a buzzer to warn about it.
