hello.. is it possible for me to connect these 2 circuits together..:?:

Fairly simple to do, connect a relay with a back emf diode across the collector load (R13 and D1) of Q1 in the right hand circuit you have posted.
Use one normally open contact of your relay to then switch the PSU to your second circuit as the diagram shows.
The relay coil voltage should be chosen to match your supply voltage.

Should you want your combined circuits to have the Sounder section remain 'activated' after triggering, use a second contact which makes to connect between the collector and emitter of Q1, with a Reset push to break switch in series.

hope this explains it OK

Hi wanie84,

Yes, remove R13 and D1 of the second circuit and connect the collector of Q1 to VCC of the wailing alarm. And that should do it.

Errrm, Q1 effectively acts as a half wave rectifier from the amplified signal of the microphone.
The half cycles superimposed onto the power supply of the sounder circuit might well affect it's performance

tq for the replies.. i will try to do simulation according to the suggestions..
