What if there was a block that could detect sound? You can choose if this happens or not, as you have to choose to allow microphone. It'd be kinda like the movement sensing block with the video blocks, but with sound. This could be useful for some game mechanics, such as if you want a sneaking portion in your game that you have to remain quiet, or for a ‘Talk with _____’ project.

how would the computer detect what they said, like understand it

Doesn't that already exist?

I don't think it's detecting loudness as it is just sound in general.

As for the topic, I don't see any uses for this. OP, can you give me some examples of times this could be useful before I turn down the thumb?

I gave some examples. “This could be useful for some game mechanics, such as if you want a sneaking portion in your game that you have to remain quiet, or for a ‘Talk with _____’ project.”. For interactive projects of all kinds this could be useful. It isn't that hard to think up examples.

It wouldn't detect what was said, it just detects sound. It wouldn't differentiate words whatsoever.

Actually, that sounds like an interesting idea. Support! This could be really useful in projects such as those examples! It adds a wider range of possibilities to Scratch, and adds more of a creative touch!

Well so

Can detect sound but it can detect any sound such as backround sound but I think it detects sound in general and sees how loud it is
Support, I hoped this helped
