A Schematic representation of the piezoelectric acoustic sensor Aa Circuit Diagram One objects makes a high frequency pitch at 5khz which I'd like to detect. The other object tend to make sound around the 1khz range. Rather than using a regular microphone, which is subject to ambient noise, I'm interested in piezo sensors or accelerometers that can contact the object directly.

In summary, the code continuously reads the analog input from the piezoelectric transducer sensor. When the sensor value surpasses the predefined threshold, it triggers the generation of a tone on the speaker connected to digital pin 8. This can create a sound-producing effect based on the vibrations detected by the piezoelectric sensor. Hopefully, it's NOT a "buzzer". A buzzer has built-in electronics to generate a sound when you connect it to DC voltage. A speaker/transducer only makes sound when you drive it with an AC signal.: I'm trying to detect a sound with a piezo buzzer, and turn a LED on and off whenever I clap (basically this, except with and LED and Arduino.) This is great for an intrusion detection circuit or burglar alarm circuit! Any time the motion sensor senses movement the piezo buzzer will make an audible sound. In this tutorial we will use an active piezo buzzer that does not need a PWM signal to operate. RELATED: Piezo Buzzers: Active vs Passive. Parts List for this Project

Sound Sensor with Arduino Tutorial Circuit Diagram
Using the Piezo to create small voltages for an LED is an analog way of using it, and using it as a sensor for a microcontroller is a digital way of using it. Here are some analog ways of using it: The Piezo could be used as a small generator for an LED. There is a lot of potential using this technology in children's and babies' toys.

In this project, I will be using the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. You may read more about the HC-SR04 sensor here: Using the HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor to Detect Objects Introducing Piezo Buzzers Piezo buzzers are versatile components commonly used for generating audible alerts and feedback in electronic projects. Piezoelectric ceramics have long been used in microphones and sound production as a compact, yet effective means of capturing and producing sound. Piezoelectric discs are most used in this application. When a voltage is applied to a piezo disc, the piezo disc oscillates. Depending on the frequency of the voltage, the oscillation of the piezoceramic produces an audible sound. To use a piezoelectric sensor is the easiest task, just connect the positive and negative terminal to your circuit and press the top of sensor. By pressing, due to mechanical pressure it create voltage at output which is further feed to the circuit. Production and detection of sound; Generation of high voltage; Electronic Frequency
