I am trying to store the loudness of a hit on a surface using a microphone and ezadc object.

The problem is that when I hit next to the microphone it seems to (for example purposes) read 0, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. The problem is that I want to store the value 5, this is how hard I hit, but as the soundwave diminishes in volume it records all of it so I am left with 0 everytime.

I've tried using if statements etc. but had no luck, I was wondering if there was any way around this irritating problem?
