Abstract
An example game device corrects a sound of a sound source located behind a virtual camera by applying a frequency filter to the sound. Specifically, an angle between an imaging direction of the virtual camera and a direction from the virtual camera toward the sound source is calculated. If the absolute value of the angle is 90 degrees or more, a filter value is calculated based on the angle. The game device also corrects the filter value based on a distance between the virtual camera and the sound source. The game device applies a low-pass filter corresponding to the filter value to the sound of the sound source.
