Abstract
An echo caused by sound leakage from a housing that vibrates due to a vibrating body is reduced. An electronic device () according to the present invention includes a piezoelectric element (), a vibrating plate () that vibrates due to the piezoelectric element (), microphones (), and an equalizer (), the electronic device () causing the vibrating plate () to generate air-conducted sound and vibration sound that is transmitted by vibrating a part of a human body. The equalizer () makes a low-range emphasis setting, to emphasize a low frequency range more than a high frequency range of the air-conducted sound, when the volume of the air-conducted sound collected by the microphones () exceeds a predetermined threshold.
