An off-the-shelf possibility for audio is a PACT Timer. Handy for
figuring out how fast your machine guns are running:

Easy enough to use a remote microphone or just record and playback the
sound, if you're worried about hurting digital equipment. Or just
stand back.
Heck, last time I ran my SISG coil I could hear the roar of the secondary
arcs echoing off the houses around the corner 100 yards away. So
reflections and
false triggers from them might be a concern.
