Abstract:
A sound wave generator includes a speaker control circuit and a speaker. The speaker control circuit includes a signal generating unit that is configured to generate an electric signal having a humming frequency property. The humming frequency property includes a plurality of frequencies that have an overtone relationship with respect to A Hz and are pitched at the A Hz, the A Hz being a target generation frequency and corresponding to a low pitch frequency in an audible range. The speaker generates a sound wave from the electric signal by applying the electric signal to a vibration plate that produces the sound wave.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle approach notification device that emits alarm sound which is not lost among environmental noise in a noisy place without generating unnecessarily loud noise in a quiet place.SOLUTION: A DSP 13 subtracts sound pressure Pgen of alarm sound from octave band sound pressure Pout including the alarm sound in octave band sound pressures P1-P8 of central frequencies f1-f8 obtained by octave analysis of the environmental noise containing the alarm sound, to obtain octave band characteristics only of the environmental noise. The octave band (central frequency fmin) of the minimum sound pressure of the environmental noise and a sound pressure Pmax of the octave band (central frequency fmax) of the maximum sound pressure of the environmental noise are detected, from the octave band characteristics only of the environmental noise. In the octave band (central frequency fmin) of the minimum sound pressure of the environmental noise, an output waveform (alarm sound data) of the sound pressure Pgen which is substantially the same as the sound pressure Pmax of the octave band (central frequency fmax) of the maximum sound pressure of the environmental noise.
