PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give notice of a sound generated in surroundings in a visually understandable state. SOLUTION: When a microphone 3 picks up a sound, a siren sound, an alarm sound, an utterance, etc., generated in surroundings, the picked-up sound is input to a sound input section 10. A sound recognition section 14 inquires of a database 16 what sound recognition information corresponding to the picked-up sound is (S1). The sound recognition section 14 refers to the sound recognition information retrieved from the database 16 and collates the sound signal input from the microphone 3 with the sound recognition information to recognize the specific sound (S2). Once the sound recognition section 14 recognizes the specific sound, a sound visualization section 15 extracts visualization information defined for the sound recognized by the sound recognition section 14 from the database 16 and outputs the information to a memory buffer 17 for display (S3).
