Abstract
A head-up display device (HUD) includes a sound analysis portion that determines whether a specific alarm is involved in sound signals from microphonestoto collect ambient sound around a vehicle. When a specific alarm has been detected as determined by the sound analysis portion, an image display unit displays icons, representing the specific alarm. The specific alarm includes a siren sound given from an emergency vehicle and a horn sound given from a general vehicle and the sound analysis portion analyzes frequency of input sound signals and thereby determines whether the sound is the specific alarm.
