Abstract
The present invention provides a sound outputting apparatus, a head-mounted display, a sound outputting method, and a program each of which enables realistic feeling of an augmented reality space or a mixed reality space to be enhanced.

A synthetic sound generating section () synthesizes a sound of the virtual reality space, and a sound of a real space of the circumference of the user with each other to generate a synthetic sound. A synthetic sound transmitting section () outputs the synthetic sound sounded from a speaker arranged in the vicinity of an ear of the user.
