Abstract:
A vehicle sound effect generation apparatus generates a sound effect of an engine based on a vibration sound database including a fundamental wave sound having a fundamental frequency component and a plurality of adjustment wave sounds having a frequency component other than the fundamental frequency component. The vehicle sound effect generation apparatus includes a running state detecting unit that detects a running state of a vehicle, a risk degree determining unit that is capable of determining a risk degree of the vehicle based on the running state detected by the running state detecting unit, and a sound effect generation unit that, when the risk degree determining unit determines a risk degree which is a predetermined value or more, synthesizes the fundamental wave sound with one or more discordant adjustment wave sounds having a discordant frequency component other than an integer-order frequency component and a half-order frequency component.

Claim (Index 6):
The vehicle sound effect generation apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein\n the adjustment wave sound selector is configured to be capable of selecting one or more integer-order adjustment wave sounds having the integer-order frequency component, or one or more half-order adjustment wave sounds having the half-order frequency component, and the sound effect generation unit is configured to be capable of synthesizing the fundamental wave sound with the one or more integer-order adjustment wave sounds or the one or more half-order adjustment wave sounds, and when the risk degree is determined to be the predetermined value or more, executes a third mode for synthesizing the fundamental wave sound with the one or more discordant adjustment wave sounds, the third mode being given priority over a first mode for synthesizing the fundamental wave sound with the one or more integer-order adjustment wave sounds, and a second mode for synthesizing the fundamental wave sound with the one or more half-order adjustment wave sounds.
