As someone who recently acquire a Clapper... I had forgotten just how finicky it could be. Can't clap too quietly, too loudly, too slowly, or too quickly. Often takes me three or four tries! Not exactly an enjoyable experience for the person sitting next to you...

Out of curiosity, is the proper clap speed the same as their song from their commercials? If so I feel like I could nail that cadence every time.

Also: would the clapper ad activate nearby clappers??

I vaguely remember a sitcom where someone had to watch a important event with friends on TV and someone else installed a clapper on said TV. Everything went well until the applause kicked in.

It's 2020, how can things like this be so hard?

That probably depends where on the scale of analog peak detector, through to some kind of AI/DSP FPGA monster you want the product to be.

Yep. "That sounds like a clap from the next room" versus "that sounds like a quiet clap in this room" is not an impossible distinction to make (humans could do it most of the time), but not trivial either.

Sounds like (pun intended) multi-directional mics would solve this, i.e. analyzing echo patterns from different directions?
