      For the price, it is not worth it to build a assembly.
      Mine didn’t come with instructions so I wrote one.
      Pin 4: Digital Output
      Pin 3: + 5 Volts
      Pin 2: Ground
      Pin 1: Analog Output

      Adjust the potentiometer fully counterclockwise until you start hearing clicks (it might take 15 turns). The LED by the Pot should be off. Adjust the pot clockwise until the LED starts intermittently blinking.

      works as advertized

      The sensitivity of the threshold signal is very dependent on temperature and airflow so you can't just set it and forget it

      I needed a sound detector for a particular application. I'm an electronic circuit designer with 40 years design experience and could have designed a circuit, but it was cheaper to just buy a PC board with the components to perform the function.
      When I got the unit, I used it in my application and yes it worked! After tracing out the schematic (Note that I replaced the LM393 comparators with a similar device compatible with my simulator.) After studying the simple design, I realized that the potentiometer VR1 adjusts the dc voltage of the neg input to U1 so that the comparators are in the linear mode and can detect a signal. The problem here is that any variation in any parameter, i.e. supply voltage, ambient temperature, time of day, and the pot would have to be "re-tweaked" for it again to be able to detect a signal. The pot does NOT set the signal threshold as stated in the product write up. The good news is that I was able to redesign the circuit using some of the components, and it works fine!

      Don't believe the functional write up on this unit.

      I needed a noise sensor. I tried two types. One type had a digital output which was useful, but was relatively insensitive. THIS one, by contrast, was much more sensitive, but had no digital output other than its analog output, which was useful.

      If your project runs off of a fixed power supply these modules will probably work fine. If however you are running off of batteries be aware that the threshold changes with the input voltage. As your battery output drops the circuit will stop working correctly, requiring you to either readjust the pot or replace the batteries sooner than you would ordinarily.
