Sound detection circuit with variable sensitivity


This is a simple circuit that can detect sounds by using a common condenser microphone. Sensitivity is variable . The circuit's output becomes High each time a sound is detected, otherwise it is in low level. You can use it in simple robots for sound responding (e.g. reaction -> when you clap your hands). This circuit recognize human voice as a common sound (you can't use it for voice recognition).
