A process for producing a piezoelectric sensor includes the following steps: a step of providing a housing made of stainless steel; a step of producing a solution of a compound comprising a metal or metalloid element; a step of depositing a layer of the solution over at least one inner surface of the housing; a step of oxidizing the deposited layer of solution; a step of placing a piezoelectric element inside the housing; a step of closing the housing. A piezoelectric sensor obtained by such a process and comprising a closed steel housing, a piezoelectric element arranged inside the housing and a layer of a solution of a compound comprising a metal or metalloid element that is arranged over at least one inner surface of the housing.
