Like @TomGeorge pointed out, the output is digital and so will be HIGH (no sound) or LOW (sound).
Try this code:
const int soundPin = 7;
int soundVal;
void setup ()
{
pinMode (soundPin, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600); // open the serial port at 9600 bps:
}
void loop ()
{
soundVal = digitalRead(soundPin);
if (soundVal == LOW)
{
Serial.print("Sound detected");
}
}
You may need to adjust the sensitivity (blue pot) to get an output.
There is more example code on the page that you linked.
Sorry, Tom. I meant to reply to the OP.
