Abstract

A sound generator includes a housing (), a stand () supporting the housing (), a piezoelectric vibrator () including a piezoelectric element (), and an anchor applying a load to the piezoelectric vibrator (). While the load from the anchor is being applied to the piezoelectric vibrator (), the piezoelectric vibrator () deforms in response to a sound signal, and deformation of the piezoelectric vibrator () vibrates a mounting surface () on which the sound generator is mounted, causing sound to be emitted from the mounting surface ().
