I have a system that at certain point makes a sound like a "beep". When that sound comes we need to perform an action, but we do not know at what time the "beep" will occur. We want to capture the sound when running an automation script then once we get it perform an action.

Can any automation tools detect a sound then trigger an action?

    I don't know of any tools that can detect a sound, but there may be tools that can catch the event which triggers the sound. You might have to work with your programming team to get a hook into the code which generates the sound to be able to automate this scenario.

It looks like one option is https://www.zonetrigger.com/sound-detection/

"Use any sound capture device!

Audio Zone Trigger can capture sound from any source available on your computer's mixer, and from any sound-capable device: Microphone
Webcam with sound Computer's own mixer output USB sound capture devices

For each volume detecting trigger, you can choose from a wide range of actions that Zone Trigger will perform. Recording audio, playing sounds, executing commands on the computer... only a click away."

I have no connection to the company. No idea how good their stuff is.
