Clap operated multivibrator being OFF and ON frequently without trigger!

I don't know what is happening! I made it but almost after 5 seconds it switches to another section and again another after 5 seconds, switches again like a flip flop flash light and not trigger sound needed, triggers are working too but also without trigger it is being regularly switching. LED emitting dim light even in OFF mode, and I changed lot more resistor value and now used 1k for LEDs however totally same thing I am getting. All parts are fine as my quick test. Can you find any theoretical error? I guessed it is a poor design!

I had made another clap trigger circuit which had no such high value electrolytic capacitor and had little more resistors. That was extremely GOOD performance! But that need some 2Meg rare resistors so I made this problematic simple one. Please point some weak aspects...

The circuit is missing a supply bypass capacitor. Add a 10uF to 100uF capacitor from +6V to ground.
2M is a standard resistor value that should be available anywhere.
