Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A control signal generating means of a sound effect generating device sets the reference volume that is the reference value of the volume of a sound effect when a vehicle is in a predetermined travel state, compares the measured volume of the sound effect detected by a sound effect detecting means when the vehicle is in the predetermined travel state and the reference volume, and corrects the gain of a control signal on the basis of the result of the comparison.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A sound effect generating device including: traveling state detecting means for detecting a traveling state of a mobile body; a waveform data table for storing one period of waveform data; reference signal generating means for generating a reference signal of a certain order by successively reading the waveform data from the waveform data table based on the traveling state; acoustic control means for generating a control signal based on the refer…
