Abstract

A sound recording apparatus having a driving unit generates a sound signal from an input sound, detects the level of the sound signal, adjusts the level of the generated sound signal at an amplification factor corresponding to the detected level, and processes the adjusted sound signal to prevent an amplified sound signal from containing a sound signal generated upon driving the driving unit. The sound recording apparatus controls to replace a sound signal in a predetermined period after instructing driving of the driving unit with a signal calculated from a sound signal in the first period after the predetermined period, and to substantially equalize an amplification factor when driving of the driving unit is instructed and that in the first period.
