An information providing method receives, from a terminal apparatus, terminal position information representative of a position of the terminal apparatus; identifies, from among a plurality of pieces of distribution information stored in a reference table in which correspondences between the plurality pieces of distribution information and a plurality of pieces of sound output position information are registered, a piece of distribution information corresponding to a piece of sound output position information identified based on the position of the terminal apparatus represented by the received terminal position information; and transmitting the identified piece of distribution information to the terminal apparatus. Each of the plurality of pieces of distribution information relates to a position at which a corresponding one of sound output devices outputs sound, and each of the plurality of pieces of sound output position information is representative of a position at which the corresponding sound output device outputs the sound.
