This sensor would be positioned to have an optimal field of view… a balance between maximum coverage of the site, stability.  This device will typically be implemented at night, so interference from the sun will not be taken into high consideration.

The sound sample rate is near CD quality, unlike most of the embedded sound playback modules offered today.

Example uses:

Incorporate sounds into a robotics project.

Have hidden module play creepy ‘children laughing’ sounds from your co-worker’s desk once every few hours or so.

Personal drum machine.
