I'd imagine you should be able to get sound level data from the audio input
software API.  If you're writing an app it'd seem practical to keep a buffer
running in a loop, monitor a given audio level and then sample for a
frequency should the level exceed the threshold.  As in, don't bother
recording if the sound isn't from the device you're trying to monitor (dog
barking, passing police car, kids playing ball, etc).  VB.Net should make it
pretty straightfoward to get to the various APIs.
