    The circuit simulates a seismic sensor to detect vibrations / sounds. It is very sensitive and both its inverting and non-inverting inputs tied to the negative rail through a resistive network comprising R1, R2 and R3. The high output from IC2 activates transistor T2 and the buzzer can detect vibrations caused by the movement of animals or human beings. It can be used to monitor protected areas to restrict entry of unwanted persons or animals.
