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 2):
The vehicle sound effect generation apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising an adjustment wave sound selector that selects, based on the risk degree, the one or more discordant adjustment wave sounds having the discordant frequency component other than the integer-order frequency component and the half-order frequency component, and outputs the one or more discordant adjustment wave sounds to the sound effect generation unit,\n wherein the adjustment wave sound selector increases, as the risk degree is larger, a number of the discordant adjustment wave sounds to be synthesized with the fundamental wave sound.
