Abstract
The vehicle front structure includes a radiator provided at a distance from the front bumper to the rear, an air guide duct provided between the front bumper and the radiator in the vehicle front-rear direction, and a vibration member mounted on a wall surface of the air guide duct. Vibration of the vibration member vibrates the wall surface, whereby a sound (horn sound) is emitted to the internal space of the air guide duct. The horn sound is amplified by resonance in the internal space, and is emitted in the forward direction of the vehicle through the front opening of the air guide duct.
