Do you think the same could be used for other cases? I'm thinking about detecting problems with cars (vehicles) just by the noise they make

I know google has general sound classifiers like Yamnet, trained on youtube data but they are not very good for specific usecases. So you would have to create a custom model for you usecase.

How far has your thinking taken you? This has piqued my interest on how many fields audio can be used to solve problems
just thinking, I've talked with a mechanic but he told me that now when they connect the car to a computer they almost always find anything wrong with a car, that and the experience they have they almost always know what's wrong.

I think sound + location could be really interesting, because you can filter parts of the car that could be making noises that are similar knowing where the mic is.
