Abstract

A sound control device includes: a first memory storing instructions; and a processor that implements the stored instructions to execute a plurality of instructions, including: a synthesizing task that synthesizes a synthesized sound signal from an input sound signal acquired from a sound input device and a reproducing sound signal acquired from a sound reproducing device; an outputting task that outputs alternately between the reproducing sound signal and the synthesized sound signal to a sound emitting device; a notification control task that outputs notifying information for causing a notifying device to notify for a notification period, which is an output period during which the outputting task is outputting the synthesized sound signal to the sound emitting device; and a registering task that registers, in a second memory, duration information specifying the notification period.
