Abstract:
1. A system for introducing a sound outside a vehicle, the system comprising: a microphone device installed outside an interior of the vehicle, the microphone device collecting the sound outside the vehicle; a speaker device installed inside the interior of the vehicle; a sound reproduction system that reproduces the sound collected by the microphone device, via the speaker device; and a sound reproduction control device that receives an input of a signal indicating a gear position currently selected for the vehicle, and controls the sound reproduction system so that if the gear position is a reverse driving position, the sound collected by the microphone device is reproduced via the speaker device, and if the gear position is a forward driving position, the reproduction of the sound collected by the microphone device is stopped or a volume of the sound reproduced is reduced to be smaller than that for reverse driving.
