A reflection sound generator has a first filter of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) type that is provided with a first set of parameters representing a first distribution pattern of reflection sounds, and a second FIR-type filter provided with a second set of parameters representing a second distribution pattern of additional reflection sounds. The first distribution pattern has a time length sufficient to cover an initial reflection sound and subsequent reverberant reflection sounds which are distributed at intervals along the time. The first filter executes convolution operation of sample data of an input sound by the first set of parameters to generate first data containing a sequence of reflection sounds of the input sound. The second filter executes convolution operation of the first data by the second set of parameters to generate second data containing additional reflection sounds which fill the intervals of the reflection sounds of the input sound.
