Abstract
A method obtains a first sound signal representative of a first sound, including a first spectrum envelope contour and a first reference spectrum envelope contour; obtains a second sound signal, representative of a second sound differing in sound characteristics from the first sound, including a second spectrum envelope contour and a second reference spectrum envelope contour; generates a synthesis spectrum envelope contour by transforming the first spectrum envelope contour based on a first difference between the first spectrum envelope contour and the first reference spectrum envelope contour at a first time point of the first sound signal, and a second difference between the second spectrum envelope contour and the second reference spectrum envelope contour at a second time point of the second sound signal; and generates a third sound signal representative of the first sound that has been transformed using the generated synthesis spectrum envelope contour.
