As someone who was programming in BASIC long before I was old enough to
handle a soldering iron, my idea of "building" my own silence sensor would
be to use a old computer with an audio input, such as the Macintosh LC
that I got for $2.00 at a flea market.  With a few lines of code, you
could have it beeping its speaker or triggering a line on its serial port,
or anything else you want it to do when the DJ falls asleep.
