Sensor and / or sound detection device with: a sensing device (10) with a sensitive surface (12) which is designed such that a change in at least one physical quantity and / or at least one chemical concentration at the sensitive surface (12) causes a change in a sensor signal output by or tapped from the sensing device (10); wherein at least one access channel (18) in the sensor and / or sound detection device is designed such that, at least as long as the at least one access channel (18) is open, air and / or at least one gas can be transferred through the at least one access channel (18) between a spatial environment of the sensor and / or sound detection device and the sensitive surface (12); characterized by at least one at least partially water-impermeable membrane (20) with an inner membrane surface (20a) oriented towards the at least one associated access channel (18), wherein at least one contact surface (22) of the respective membrane (20) located on the respective inner membrane surface (20a) is pressed against at least one associated membrane contact surface (24) on the at least one associated access channel (18) by deformation of the respective membrane (20) when a membrane outer surface (20b) of the respective membrane (20) or a cover layer (40) located on the respective membrane outer surface (20b) is wetted with at least a minimum quantity of liquid, such that the at least one associated access channel (18) is sealed liquid-tight, wherein the at least one membrane (20) is designed such that, if the respective membrane outer surface (20b) or cover layer (40) is not wetted,the respective membrane (20) is in its initial position and the at least one associated access channel (18) is kept open via at least one open intermediate gap between the at least one contact surface (22) of the respective membrane (20) in its initial position and the at least one associated membrane contact surface (24) on the at least one associated access channel (18).
