This paper describes the construction phase of a corpus of everyday life sounds for a system of separation and classification of audio sources in a habitat; an application of telemonitoring of the elderly or disabled. We first presented the key concepts of the research area, and then we presented works and projects that address detection of distress situations and recognition of activities. Finally, we studied the different sounds used in an application of telemonitoring from which we are inspired to create our database.
