An audio device capable of inhibiting malfunction of an information terminal is provided. The audio device includes a sound sensor portion, a sound separation portion, a sound determination portion, and a processing portion. The sound sensor portion has a function of sensing sound. The sound separation portion has a function of separating the sound sensed by the sound sensor portion into a voice and sound other than a voice. The sound determination portion has a function of storing the feature quantity of the sound. The sound determination portion has a function of determining, with a machine learning model such as a neural network model, whether the feature quantity of the voice separated by the sound separation portion is the stored feature quantity. The processing portion has a function of analyzing an instruction contained in the voice and generating an instruction signal representing the content of the instruction in the case where the feature quantity of the voice is the stored feature quantity. The processing portion has a function of performing, on the sound other than a voice separated by the sound separation portion, processing for canceling the sound other than a voice. Specifically, the processing portion has a function of performing, on the sound other than a voice, processing for inverting the phase thereof.
