good lord, that's funny. but i don't think the OP is interested in buying a commercial product to submit as a school project or whatever he's trying to do this for.

a Do-It-Yourself project, i think you will need a sensor to detect sound (a microphone), a very cheap amplifier and bandpass filter circuit for 1kHz, and a microcontroller (such as PIC) to generate a serial output that could be read by the host computer.

probably an easier method may be to use the sound board on the computer with a microphone, but i've never tried that myself. perhaps someone else has...

You have to get the audio signal through some means, before you can process it...
