Abstract
A sound signal control device in a device including an input transducer to detect sound in a space in a vehicle, a sensor to image an occupant in the space, and an output transducer to emit sound into the space includes: a controller to generate information indicating a position of a head of the occupant and information indicating a state of the occupant, based on an image imaged by the sensor; a processor to generate a cancellation signal for cancelling noise at the position based on a sound signal representing sound detected by the input transducer and the information, and generate a control signal for controlling sound at the position based on the cancellation signal; and a converter to cause the output transducer to emit a sound corresponding to the control signal. The processor adjusts a degree to which the noise is cancelled, based on the information indicating the state.
