Sound Sensor
This is the Sound Sensor. It works as a microphone except that instead of transmitting your voice when you speak into it, it transmits a signal indicating how loud the noise is. It normalizes this sound as a percentage of the maximum "loudness" it can hear accurately.
This sensor will return values between 0 and 100, 0 being the quietest value and 100 being the loudest.
To preserve your sensor there are a few things you should know. Do not blow into the sensor, shake the sensor, or yell into it trying to get a number louder than 100. This sensor works like your ear. If you do any of these to your ear it gets hurt as well because it is damaging. The ear drum is a thin piece of tissue and then any of these things are done to it, it can break. The same thing is true for the sound sensor.
