Abstract
There is provided a biological sound measuring device that has a member which defines a space to be sealed by a body surface of a living body in a state of being pressed against the body surface, and that measures a biological sound of the living body based on pressure fluctuation in the space. The device includes: a sound generator that generates a sound toward the body surface; a sound measurer that measures a reflected sound of the sound generated by the sound generator; and a controller that determines whether or not a contact state or a contact position of the member with respect to the body surface satisfies a condition necessary for measurement of the biological sound, based on the reflected sound measured by the sound measurer, and that performs notification when it is determined that the condition is not satisfied.
