    Abstract: To make a notification to the driver so that the driver can distinguish or recognize the notification. A vehicle notification device (1a) inputs a first sweep signal whose frequency is changed in a predetermined frequency range, to a vibrator (4), calculates frequency characteristics of a vibration in the vehicle interior, detects a frequency range in which the signal level of vehicle-travel-time frequency characteristics is higher than the signal level of vehicle-stop-time frequency characteristics by a predetermined level amount or more, generates a second sweep signal whose frequency is changed in a range obtained by excluding the detected frequency range from the predetermined frequency range of the first sweep signal, and outputs the second sweep signal from the vibrator (4).

    Abstract: A sound-field correction device, comprising: a target calculating unit, a correction amplitude characteristic calculating unit and a setting unit. The target calculating unit calculates, based on a predetermined sound signal, a target amplitude characteristic targeted for sound-field correction by a parametric equalizer and a plurality of auxiliary target amplitude characteristics having amplitude characteristics approximately equal to or gentler than the target amplitude characteristic. The correction amplitude characteristic calculating unit calculates a correction amplitude characteristic for correction sound-field based on the calculated target amplitude characteristic and the calculated plurality of auxiliary target amplitude characteristics. The setting unit sets the parametric equalizer based on the calculated correction amplitude characteristic.

    Abstract: A frequency compressor of a vibration output apparatus generates a compressed signal by converting frequency components of a mid-band signal into low-band frequency components of a low-band signal by increasing the total number of samples by a factor of n and thus compressing the frequency of amplitude information included in mid-band frequency components of the mid-band signal to 1/n. If the level of a low-band envelope signal is lower than a predetermined threshold level, a vibration signal generator generates a vibration signal by combining the compressed signal with the low-band signal consisting of the low-band frequency components of an acoustic signal. If the level of the low-band envelope signal is higher than the predetermined threshold level, the vibration signal generator generates a vibration signal by directly using the low-band signal. A vibration output unit outputs a vibration on the basis of the generated vibration signal.
