1. A system for generating time-lapse videos, the system comprising:
an image sensor configured to generate a visual output signal conveying visual information based on light that becomes incident thereon, the visual information defining visual content;
an optical element configured to guide light within a field of view to the image sensor;
a sound sensor configured to generate a sound output signal conveying audio information based on sound received by the sound sensor, the audio information defining audio content; and
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
capture the visual content during a visual capture duration based on a time-lapse video frame rate, the time-lapse video frame rate defining a rate at which the visual content is captured as time-lapse video frames based on the visual output signal;
determine change in the time-lapse video frame rate during the visual capture duration;
responsive to the time-lapse video frame rate changing into a target time-lapse video frame rate, start capture of the audio content;
responsive to the time-lapse video frame rate changing from the target time-lapse video frame rate to a different time-lapse video frame rate; stop the capture of the audio content; and
generate video content of a time-lapse video, the video content including the captured visual content and the captured audio content.
