ABSTRACT:
A sound synthesizer for a vehicle includes a driving operation detector that detects an operation amount of a driving operation input device by a driver. A speed calculator calculates a revolution speed of a drive unit based on the detected operation amount. A sound controller outputs a sound control signal based on an input of the operation amount and based on the revolution speed. A memory stores drive sound data in advance. A synthesized sound output generator reads out drive sound data from the memory and outputs a voltage signal corresponding to a sound pressure signal. The memory divides the operational state of the drive unit into plural stages by using the operation amount and the revolution speed as parameters. The memory stores each driving sound which is recorded in the middle of each operational period as digital data of the driving sound at a wavelength of a sound pressure waveform which is substantially the same as a cyclic sound interval of the drive unit. The sound controller is arranged to output sound control signals so that the drive sound data within a range of the operational state corresponding to the inputted operation amount and revolution speed is repetitively played. Preferably, multiple sound synthesizers are interconnected to a server so that sound data can be downloaded to the sound synthesizers from the server.
