1. A portable sound recording device comprising:
- a digital processor which receives sound through an analog input circuit and records the received sound digitally in a microchip memory in a loop fashion whereby the oldest sound is replaced with the latest received sound and compares the received sound to either a stored, decibel threshold level, or to a stored, preprogrammed acoustical signature to determine if a specific criteria has been satisfied and once the criteria has been satisfied, stops recording the received sound after a preset time has transpired thereby enabling the collection and storage of incoming sound both before and after the specified criteria is satisfied.
