DIYables Analog Sound Sensor Sound Detector for Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi
Click to zoom


Quick Overview
The DIYables analog sound sensor is a versatile sound detection module that measures ambient sound intensity. It provides both analog and digital outputs, making it suitable for a wide range of audio-sensing applications.
The analog output gives a continuous reading of sound levels, while the digital output triggers when the sound exceeds a threshold set via the onboard potentiometer. This dual-output design makes the sensor useful for sound-activated projects, noise monitoring, clap switches, and voice-controlled applications.
Key Features
- Dual Output — Both analog and digital (HIGH/LOW) outputs for flexible integration
- Adjustable Threshold — Built-in potentiometer for setting digital output trigger level
- Ambient Sound Detection — Measures the intensity of surrounding sound
- Wide Voltage Range — Compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers
- Presoldered and Not Soldered Options — Provided in presoldered and not soldered versions for selection
- Tutorial Support — Extensive tutorials and example code available
- ...NOTE
- If you are using the ESP32, you need to configure the ADC with 11 dB attenuation to set the voltage reference range to handle up to 3.3V.
