VEHICLE NOTIFICATION SOUND EMITTING APPARATUS.

摘要

A vehicle notification sound emitting apparatus is basically provided with a sound emitting device (1) and a notification sound control device (12). The sound emitting device emits a movement notification sound to outside of a vehicle to inform a person in an area surrounding the vehicle that the vehicle is moving at a low speed. The notification sound control device (12) operates the sound emitting device to selectively emit the movement notification sound. The notification sound control device (12) includes a notification sound prohibiting section (16) and a prohibition cancelling section (step S54). The notification sound prohibiting section (16) prohibits an emission of the movement notification sound by the sound emitting device (1). The prohibition cancelling section (step S54) cancels a notification sound emission prohibition imposed by the notification sound prohibiting section (16) either upon a vehicle speed of the vehicle exceeding a prescribed vehicle speed or based on position information of the vehicle.
