Just as there is software that records video from a webcam if
movement is detected, it's not unlikely that there is (or could
easily be) similar applications
for audio, where sound is recorded (and logged) when it exceeds some
preset threshold. I don't know of any such software, but some Google
searching might turn up something.

Sound Forge has a 'threshold' recording option. I would imagine most
other editors would too ...

Right, but dunno if ANY of then also *log* the time/date.
It is a rather specialized requirement, not a "normal" audio
recording application. Certainly any competent programmer
could easily cobble together an audio version of a webcam
"motion detection". Dunno what the market for it would be,
though.



I just had a quick Google to see if there are any online Speaking Clocks.
Didn't find anything. If there is one, or there is speaking clock software
that will constantly output the time, you could record that on a separate
track to the audio every time the threshold was exceeded.
