Arduino Sound Sensor Control

Sound sensors can be used for a variety of things, one of them could be turning lights off and on by clapping. Today however we are going to use hook up the sound sensor to an array of LED lights which will beat with music, clapping or knocking.

Required Hardware:
Arduino Board :
Sound Sensor :
LED Kit :
220 ohm Resistors :
Mini Breadboard :
Jumper Wires :

Recommended Items:

Connections :
This module allows you to detect when sound has exceeded a set point you select.Sound is detected via a microphone and fed into an LM393 op amp. The sound level set point is adjusted via an on board potentiometer. When the sound level exceeds the set point, an LED on the module is illuminated and the output is sent low.

Short, simple, clear & straight to the point!! Awesome video!! Thank you for sharing!!

Hello can u do a project with LED strips with sound sensor?I appreciate it!

[adityakathirvel]

Your arduino projects are so simple and less cost but can you please share the code also in the description

Question: Can we detect by this microphone the sounds outside the headset ? [20hz-20khz]

I would like to use a traffic light and have it come on in three stages (green, yellow, and red) as the kids get louder in Sunday school, is that possible with this configuration?

Did anyone else notice that he did not wire that resistor in series? both sides of the resistor are connected to the same bus on the breadboard so no current will flow through it. It works temporarily because the arduino cant supply enough current to pop that LED right away, but it will wear the LED out very fast.

Can i use the same concept to work on a specific frequency of sound ? Like the light will turn on and off only when the frequency of the sound reach desired one .

How can i found the sound sensor component in tinkercad??

[TheWareek]

only just seen this look like fun. But isnt that resistor of no use it both legs are in the same row on the breadboard.

What would you have to do to the software if instead of using the Arduino sound sensor, you use a microphone circuit that outputs the waveform of the specific sound you want the microcontroller to capture? do you need to declare it as an int sound sensor? is the digital read a library? sorry for the questions.

Can u change the light too a servo and will it still work pls help I really need to know thx

[FrostEnceladus]

At 1:10 what program did you use to pre plot the circuitry?

[oXTLo]

Would I be able to do this with an LED strip?

[joydeeproy]

How and where did you learn to make this cool things.what course should i do

[gregkrazanski]

is it possible to reverse it so loud sound actually turns OFF a light that is already on? Shouldn't be too hard I think, right? Also, is this just a simple on/off threshold? Or is there a range where the light brightens and dims? (For example, between -10 and -5 decibels, the brighteness of the light linearly goes from 100% to 0% brightness)? Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Hi I would like to use this as an addition to our IP but does this work with voice? or only clapping and knocking?

[cekenneth]

hi im new for using arduino... i just want to know if i can use laser instead of LED as an out and use that same laser to power a amplifier speaker. thanks in advance

[amChinni.]

Sir electromagnetic relays are their in ur project can it work without relays

[jefferyhammond]

How can I use this in a system that deters barking dogs? I currently have a system I wired together that runs high pitch piezo tweeter speakers on a remote but that doesn't work when I'm not home to activate it. The over the counter bark deterrents are useless. I need it to stay on for 30 seconds when it detects noise but no shut off when it detects the second bark. Any ideas?

great tutorial, could you tell me if there is a way to run it off a 9v battery or aa batterys, instead of the mains, to use in a model
