Motion alert triggered by sound?

Since some time, my floodlight camera creates a false alert almost every time a car drives by.I checked the detection zone, and it's far enough from the road, so the alert is not triggered by motion. I also set the sensitivity to the lowest level.I have the feeling the alert is triggered by sound - every time a 'loud' vehicle passes. Is that possible? If so, how can I disable or adjust the sound trigger?If not, what else could cause the false alerts for vehicles passing on the road?

    I hadn't considered sound as the trigger. I have the same problem but only at night. I thought it was car headlights even though the lights are outside the detection zone. Worse, the lights get triggered but it doesn't always trigger the camera.

      I happens at daylight, as well as in the night. So I don't suspect headlights to trigger the motion alert.
