1. A sound-detection and alerting system, comprising:

  • a device for capturing acoustic energy and producing a representative electric signal;

    a filter for limiting a plurality of frequencies of the electric signal to predetermined frequency ranges;

    a comparator for comparing the representative electric signal to an established threshold signal and producing a corresponding comparator output signal;

    a smoothing rectifier for reducing oscillations in the comparator output signal and producing a smoothed output signal; and

    a timer for determining whether the smoothed output signal is within a pre-determined voltage range for at least a pre-determined period of time and producing a notification-device activation signal.
