Jul 30, 2023 at 17:35 comment added Audioguru A lousy old LM324 is not used for audio because it does not produce high audio frequencies so you need a better opamp since most audio opamps operate fine up to at least 100kHz. The 40kHz piezo transducer produces ONLY 40kHz. The breadboard causes high frequency oscillation instead of amplification.

Jul 30, 2023 at 13:52 comment added glen_geek That piezo microphone is suspect. If it is a common ultrasonic 40kHz transducer, it is sharply resonant near 40 kHz making it less-sensitive at other ultrasonic frequencies. You might be able to extend its bandwidth with an RL network. It may be better to drive a proper multiplying mixer from the microphone, then amplify the mixer's audio output. Some active multiplying mixers have gain. I'd suggest a SA612 mixer from NXP

Jul 30, 2023 at 11:34 comment added glen_geek Perhaps unwise to use the class-D PAM8302 audio amplifier - it is also an ultrasonic generator. Better to use old-school linear amplifier here like LM386 or equivalent.
