I keep listening to music with my headphones all day and there are people who keep calling me but it does not always work for them. So, I was wondering if there was an application that could notify me if someone is shouting or if the doorbell is ringing. If not is there something else that I could do.

So decided by a loud volume? It's still not possible with current free software to detect certain sounds. – Tim Jun 05 '15 at 11:05

You can use microphone input port along line output as headphone output with jackd and qjackctl. See here for solution How to hear my voice in speakers with a mic?
Don't forget to place your microfone near the door to your room and make it less sensitive to avoid noise! ;)

but i don't think that doing this will let me listen to music or watch movies etc. – akxer Jun 05 '15 at 11:56

@akabhirav Ok, use sound sensor with AVR microcontroller connected to your computer with serial and a Python script to mute your output if discrete signal is on... Is it better solution for you? – Uncle Leo Jun 08 '15 at 08:25

But do not be surprised when it will always turn off the sound at the slightest movement in the corridor – Uncle Leo Jun 08 '15 at 08:28
