I am fairly certain that there is an announcement on Mountain Lion at least. It says something like "system" whilst the drive is being mounted.
I do have an app called Mounting installed which allows you to reconnect ejected drives, but I do not know if this makes a difference. I have my desktop set up to show removable drives. What I do routinely is insert a CD or USB drive and start routinely searching for it using Vo cursor commands. When I hear voiceover say system I know it has definitely mounted either the USB drive or CD. Whilst the system dialogue is announced you cannot, temporarily, access the desktop. When you are returned to the desktop the drive will be there. I am not sure if I would get the system announcement if I was not actually pressing keys. My daughter is on the Mac at the moment so I cannot test this . I'll try later.

This also happens upon removal of the device. I have noticed on OS 10, after my constant months of using it, that this does not happen and I guess I'm wondering if there is a way to maybe to get it to do that.
