Abstract
An object is to provide an approaching-body warning device capable of causing a drive to recognize, with enhanced reality, a direction and a location of a detection target approaching to an own vehicle. It is provided with a detection system including cameras, a radar sensor, and the like for detecting detection targets approaching to an own vehicle from various directions. A plurality of speakers is arranged in a cabin of the own vehicle to surround a driver. When the detection system determines that a detection target is approaching from any of various directions, an audio control unit provides, to the driver, enhanced reality of the approaching detection target by producing warning sound with surround signals output to a surround stereo audio system to form a sound field corresponding to an approaching direction.
