I added a four-terminal RGB LED with a common anode to the system using more of the header wires. I considered addressable lights, but I won't need that much light, and I have bezels for the single components. I found some threshold values that could trigger with a breath and programmed the light to change accordingly.

I included a speaker with header terminals for testing, but I'll use piezo elements later. The startup sound is a 200 Hz square wave that builds to 700 Hz, then cuts off. Each time the Arduino sees a pressure event, it chirps for a fraction of a second and turns on the light. If there is a sustained pressure increase, it will flash the light and beep intermittently.

I put everything inside an airtight food container, so when I sealed it and pressed the lid, the light registered a significant pressure change and changed the light. The speaker was hard to hear inside the container, but it worked.
