I tried this experiment when I first read (in Popular electronics) about using capacitors in place of piezo disks for electronic drums. Basically, what I wanted to do was rig a device that could be mounted to the INSIDE of a 1.5" wooden door, and when somebody knocks on the OUTSIDE, it produces a sound... e.g.: Knock. TICK Knock. TICK (they knock, it makes a much louder TICK! or whatever. I managed to get it to work, but only if the sensor was on the outside and one knocked directly on it- not much better than a doorbell. what could I use as a sensor that will work on the inside to detect a "normal" knock? --
