A sound reproduction method includes: obtaining a first audio signal indicating a first sound which arrives at a listener from a first range and a second audio signal indicating a second sound which arrives at the listener from a predetermined direction; when the first range and the predetermined direction are determined to be included in a second range which is a back range relative to a front range in the direction that the head part of the listener faces, performing a correction process on at least one of the first audio signal or the second audio signal so that intensity of the second audio signal becomes higher than intensity of the first audio signal; and performing mixing of the at least one of the first audio signal or the second audio signal, and outputting, to an output channel, the first and second audio signals.
