So to do that, tape the present switch on all of the time, and put the motion switch to close the hot leg. Then, whenever someone approaches, the prop will make it's noise.

If you want any sound to turn it on, then no tuning is necessary. If only a certain level of sound in a specific area, then you will need to include a sensitivity switch and place the microphone where you want it to listen. If Radio Shack still exists in your area, they may have booklets to help you with this. If not, then check the electronics section of your local library.
