SOUND OUTPUT CONTROL SYSTEM
DRIVE
January 6, 2022
A controller executes output state control in which an output status of a sound signal outputted from a sound source device and that of a blowing sound outputted from a sounding device are controlled based on driving environment information. In the output state control, it is judged whether or not an output condition of the blowing sound is satisfied based on the driving environment information. If it is judged that the output condition is satisfied, a mute signal is outputted to a sound source device to mute the output of the sound signal and also a blowing signal including mute information is outputted to the sounding device. The mute information includes information on a start timing to output the blowing sound. The start timing is variably set in accordance with an importance of the information provided to an occupant of the vehicle.
