<p>A method for measuring a rise edge of an impulse response between a sound source and a receiver, in which
N denotes the length of a TSP signal,
ν denotes the length of the impulse response between the sound source and the receiver,
TN denotes a duration period of the TSP signal, and
T1 to T(k + L) denote periods each composed of the period TN as a unit period (k ≥ 1, L ≥ 0), the method comprising the steps of:
setting N so as to satisfy N ≤ ν
supplying the TSP signal to the sound source continuously for each unit period TN over the periods T1 to Tk, where Tk is the last period during which the TSP signal is supplied;
adding and averaging signals output from the receiver during the individual periods T1 to T(k + L);
obtaining an impulse response signal between the sound source and the receiver on the basis of a value obtained from the adding and averaging; and
obtaining the rising edge of the impulse response using an amplitude value or an energy value of the impulse response signal, the amplitude value or the energy value to be used being obtained at a time point before the amplitude value or the energy value becomes the maximum value,
wherein the obtained rising edge is set as a dummy rising edge, and
wherein an actual rising edge of the impulse response is determined as being at a time point when an amplitude value of the impulse response signal first becomes a predetermined value which is smaller than an amplitude value corresponding to the dummy rising edge, the time point being obtained by tracing retrospectively from the dummy rising edge.
