An apparatus, for indicating impending failure of jet engines, having an electrostatic probe in the exhaust of the jet engine with the probe signal being applied to a circuit for providing pulses, at the amplitude of a signal in a sample and hold circuit, for each positive going signal followed by a negative going signal. A pulse height discriminator provides uniform output pulses, for each pulse exceeding the integrated engine noise level, and applies its output to a smoothing circuit. When the signal level in the smoothing circuit exceeds a predetermined level, a trigger circuit is operated to energize a warning circuit.
