These two sounds are intended for two entirely different psychoacoustic tasks.  
The spot function involves perception of the pitch of the tone.  The monitor 
function involves merely hearing the presence of the tone, and intervals of 
absence of the tone. 

The effectiveness of these sounds is different as their respective volume 
changes.  If precisely the same loudness works equally for both, it is probably 
a fortunate coincidence.

There is every reason to provide two separate volume controls.   ....and no 
useful reason for them to be adjusted by a single volume control.
