This paper introduces a new usage of piezoelectric poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)\nelectrospun nanofiber (NF) membrane as a sensing unit for acoustic signals. In this work, an NF mat\nhas been used as a transducer to convert acoustic signals into electric voltage outcomes. The detected\nvoltage has been analyzed as a function of both frequency and amplitude of the excitation acoustic\nsignal. Additionally, the detected AC signal can be retraced as a function of both frequency and\namplitude with some wave distortion at relatively higher amplitudes and within a certain acoustic\nspectrum region. Meanwhile, the NFs have been characterized through piezoelectric responses,\nbeta sheet calculations and surface morphology. This work is promising as a low-cost and innovative\nsolution to harvest acoustic signals coming from wide resources of sound and noise.
