Sound Sensor

The Sound Sensor is a piece of Equipment in Phasmophobia. It detects sounds in a large area around it, allowing the player to track potential ghost activity in combination with the Sound Monitor.
==Usage==
A sound sensor can be on the ground or other flat surface. The detection area is highlighted as an orange circle on the Site Map in the van. The sound sensor picks up most noises, except for players talking through local and global chat. 
Any noise picked up by a sensor will appear as a bar on the Sound Monitor, showing how loud the sound was and identifying which sensor picked up the sound. The screen will display the total volume of all sounds detected. The value displayed will update every second.
By default, the sound sensor picks up sound in a 5-meter radius on the same floor, ignoring walls. This radius can be increased by clicking on the enlargement icon on the Sound Monitor in the van. The sound sensor can also be muted by clicking on the speaker icon.
The Tier III Sound Sensor has two additional modes which can be switched to by with it while it is placed, or directly while in hand. These modes can't be switched from the van.
== Tips ==
*Placing sound sensors in a central area of several rooms is a good way to cover a lot of ground when looking for the ghost's location early on.
*Sound sensors detect the noise of the Haunted Mirror if it is in their range.
