HSE - Hidden Sound Explorer
Hidden Sound Explorer is a circuit that transduces the electromagnetic fields, produced by the electronic devices that surround us, into sounds to be listened to through earphones. It amplifies the electrical signal of a coil connected to the input, a two-pole connector. A piezoelectric disc (contact microphone) can also be connected to the input terminals to amplify micro-sounds that are normally inaudible.
The output is a 1/8" stereo jack in which you can plug your headphones to discover a new world of hidden sounds.
Use a 100mH inductor to scope out power supplies, electric motors, smartphones. Any electromagnetic source will produce a distinct sound. Also a piezo disk attached to a vibrating surface can reveal some unheard sounds. Use it on guitar, violin, toothpicks or a broom...whatever.
In this repository you can find the schematic and the PCB production files to build your own device.
