Sound events
============
The microphone can respond to a pre-defined set of sound events that are
based on the amplitude and wavelength of the sound.

These sound events are represented by instances of the ``SoundEvent`` class,

``SoundEvent('loud')`` or ``SoundEvent('quiet')``.
:returns: The name of the last recorded sound event,
``SoundEvent('loud')``, ``SoundEvent('quiet')``, ``SoundEvent('clap')``.

.. py:function:: was_event(event)
* **event**: a sound event, such as ``SoundEvent.LOUD`` or
``SoundEvent.QUIET``.

:param event: A sound event, such as ``SoundEvent.LOUD``,
``SoundEvent.QUIET``, or ``SoundEvent.CLAP``.
:returns: ``true`` if sound was heard at least once since the last
call, otherwise ``false``. ``was_event()`` also clears the sound
event history before returning.

``SoundEvent.QUIET``.
* **return**: ``true`` if sound event is the most recent since the last
:param event: A sound event, such as ``SoundEvent.LOUD`` or
``SoundEvent.QUIET``, or ``SoundEvent.CLAP``.
:returns: ``true`` if sound event is the most recent since the last
call, otherwise ``false``. It does not clear the sound event history.

.. py:function:: get_events()
* **return**: a tuple of the event history. The most recent is listed last.
:returns: A tuple of the event history. The most recent is listed last.
``get_events()`` also clears the sound event history before returning.

.. py:function:: set_threshold(event, value)
* **event**: a sound event, such as ``SoundEvent.LOUD`` or
``SoundEvent.QUIET``.

* **value**: The threshold level in the range 0-255. For example,
:param event: A ``SoundEvent.LOUD`` or ``SoundEvent.QUIET`` sound event.
:param value: The threshold level in the range 0-255. For example,
``set_threshold(SoundEvent.LOUD, 250)`` will only trigger if the sound is
very loud (>= 250).

.. py:function:: sound_level()
* **return**: a representation of the sound pressure level in the range 0 to
:returns: A representation of the sound pressure level in the range 0 to
255.
