A vehicle proximity notification device for notifying a vehicle approach using a first speaker and a second speaker provided in the vehicle includes a sound source that outputs a signal that corresponds to a sound for notifying an approach of the vehicle and that is input to the first speaker and the second speaker; and an information processor that changes a phase of at least one signal out of a signal input to the first speaker and a signal input to the second speaker in accordance with a speed of the vehicle.

Vehicle proximity notification device, vehicle and vehicle proximity notification method

A sound processing device includes: a sound source that outputs a common sound signal to a first speaker for a vehicle exterior and a second speaker for a vehicle interior that are mounted on the vehicle; a notification sound controller that outputs a signal corresponding to a notification sound for notifying an approach of the vehicle to the first speaker based on the sound signal output from the sound source; and an acceleration sound controller that outputs a signal corresponding to an acceleration sound of the vehicle to the second speaker based on the sound signal output from the sound source.

Sound processing device, vehicle and sound processing method

A vehicle proximity notification device that notifies proximity of a vehicle by causing a speaker disposed outside a vehicle interior of the vehicle to output a warning sound. The vehicle proximity notification device includes: a controller that, when a sound pressure of a sound collected by a microphone disposed outside the vehicle interior exceeds a first threshold, sets a sound pressure of the warning sound output by the speaker to a level lower than the sound pressure of the warning sound output by the speaker when the sound pressure of the sound collected by the microphone is lower than or equal to the first threshold.

Vehicle proximity notification device and vehicle proximity notification method

Provided is a vehicle approach notification device that can easily output a warning sound in which a discomfort feeling brought to an occupant is reduced while ensuring a necessary sound pressure. A vehicle approach notification device includes: a sound source; first and second amplifiers; a first speaker system including a first speaker and a second speaker that outputs a sound having an opposite phase to a sound output from the first speaker; and a second speaker system including a third speaker that outputs a sound having a same phase as the sound output from the first speaker and a fourth speaker that outputs a sound having an opposite phase to the sound output from the third speaker, wherein the first speaker system and the second speaker system are disposed so that the first speaker and the third speaker are located closer to a longitudinal center plane of the vehicle than the second speaker and the fourth speaker.

Vehicle approach notification device

An inspection signal generator of an acoustic device outputs a first inspection signal. An amplifier receives a first reference signal, and outputs a second inspection signal according to the first inspection signal. A first detector is electrically connected to an output side of the amplifier, and outputs a first detection signal based on the second inspection signal. The first detector is electrically connected to the output side of the amplifier, and outputs the first detection signal based on the second inspection signal. A determiner compares a first detection signal output from the first detector with a preset determination reference signal so as to detect electrical abnormality between a ground terminal and an output terminal electrically connected to the output side of the amplifier.

Acoustic device, acoustic system, moving body device, and malfunction diagnosis method for acoustic system

A proximity alarm device includes a control unit, an amplifying unit, an output terminal, a ground terminal, a detection unit, and a determining apparatus. The control unit receives an input of a referencing signal. An output of the control unit is electrically connected to the amplifying unit. An output of the amplifying unit is electrically connected to an output terminal. The ground terminal is electrically connected to a ground. The output of the amplifying unit is electrically connected to the detection unit. An output of the detection unit is electrically connected to the determining apparatus. Then, the determining apparatus compares a detection signal detected by the detection unit and a determination reference signal with each other.
