And what is such "recognition of sounds" good for, what is its usefulness?

[Benjamin Levicek]

Hello, this function is perfect especially for people with hearing problems.

Thank you for the explanation

[Radvhundred]

The use is different, it can be used, for example, as a baby monitor, a fire alarm, etc. The main idea is probably for disabled people.

and how much battery does it use if it listens to sounds all the time?

[I'm glad]

I tried it on an iPhone Xs max and I don't notice any major battery drain.
If I used the fridge, I would still have it connected to the charger.
