Sensor that makes arduino based biped walk towards sound, where it is loudest

Hey, I am looking for a sensor for an arduino based robotic biped with 8 servos and I want it to be able to walk towards wherever sound is coming form. Any ideas what sensor to use?

This is not a new question. Use the "Search Forum" up to the right in this window.
I don't remember anyone solving this question.

Use several microphones and triangulate the direction the sound comes from using the multiple inputs.
The electronics are reasonably simple. The programming is reasonably complex.

No idea, yet. Please confirm that your robot is currently able to turn 360 degrees to find the loudest sound direction.

Use a single microphone on a stepper motor constantly rotating 360 degrees back and forth to decide which direction has the loudest sound is probably much easier.

Yes, but my thought was if the biped must turn to the loudest sound, it also would be able to do the sensing while it turns with the sensor solidly attached to the front of the thing.
