This is a circuit that will go off if the circuit detects any sound above a certain threshold. Once the circuit detects sound, the alarm goes off alerting us to this sound. This circuit has extreme use when an area ordinarily should be very quiet and should have no sound like a quiet zone. Under quiet conditions, with little to no sound, the alarm

will not go off. When a sound is detected such as someone walking through the room or talking in a room, the alarm will go off. Thus, we can detect intruders in a room that shouldn`t be there if they create sound while operating in a room where there shouldn`t be any. So in order to build our circuit, we will use a microphone and connect it to an audio amplifier to get amplified signals. The amplifier IC that we use is the popular LM386 IC. This IC will amplify the output signals that the microphone produces so that the arduino will be able to detect large enough signals to interpret them. All we need to do then is connect the 3 terminals on the board, which are VCC, GND, and AUD. Vcc is the power which we supply to the breakout board, so that the microphone and amplifier have sufficient power to operate. GND is the negative or return path of the power. And AUD is the output of the microphone board, which are the amplified sound signals. Using this board greatly simplifies the process of building our sound alarm circuit, since we don`t have to put the electret microphone and amplifier together. However, if you do want to do so, do so. Again, click the above link to the circuit schematic. Before we show the complete schematic diagram of the arduino sound alarm circuit, we will first show the pinout of the LM386. This way, the connections that we make from the microphone to it will make more sense. Terminals 1 and 8...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
