A popular sound sensor is called a microphone. There are various designs and technology used, but the principle is the same.

You need a diaphragm. This is any (generally thin and light) material that is suspended in air. The pressure waves in air, that we call sound, make the diaphragm move.

In a dynamic type microphone, a coil of fine wire is also attached to the diaphragm and is surrounded by a magnet.

As the coil moves, so it generates small amounts of electricity, which can then be amplified and manipulated how you want.

How do store sensors work?

Store sensors work by detecting and measuring various environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, light, motion, and sound. They typically use different types of technologies such as thermal, optical, or mechanical sensors to capture data. The collected data is then transmitted to a central system for analysis and decision-making on factors like inventory management, energy efficiency, and security.

How do ultrasonic sensors work?

Ultrasonic sensors emit high-frequency sound waves, and then detect the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back after hitting an object. By measuring the time delay between emission and reception of the sound waves, the sensor can calculate the distance to the object. The sensor uses this information to determine the presence and distance of objects in its vicinity.
