適の音量の可聴音を発生できるように構成されている。(Means for Solving the Problems) The audible sound generating device of the present invention includes a noise level detecting section that detects the noise level around the installation location, and the higher the detected noise level, the louder the audible sound. The device is equipped with a volume adjustment section for generating audible sound, and is configured to always generate audible sound at an optimal volume depending on the surrounding noise level.
以下、本発明の作用を実施例と共に詳細に説明する。Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be explained in detail together with examples.

れている。(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an alarm/ringing tone generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, l is an alarm/ringing tone generator, 2 is a speaker, and 3 is a volume adjustment. Section 4 is a noise level detection section. This alarm/ringing tone generating device is installed in a control console of an electronic computer system or an electronic exchange system.
警報音／呼出音発生器１は、上位装置から入力端子１ａ
に受けた指令に従って障害の発生やオペレータの介入を
促す警報音／呼出音を発生する。The alarm sound/ringing sound generator 1 is connected to an input terminal 1a from a host device.
According to the commands received by the operator, an alarm/ring tone is generated to alert the operator to the occurrence of a failure.
この警報音／呼出音は、音量調整部３の可変利得増幅器
３ａと可変減衰器３ｂを経てスピーカ２に供給され、ス
ピーカ２を鳴動させる。This alarm sound/ringing sound is supplied to the speaker 2 via the variable gain amplifier 3a and variable attenuator 3b of the volume adjustment section 3, and causes the speaker 2 to ring.

３の可変減衰器３ｃを経て可変利得増幅Ｈ３ａの利得制
御信号の入力端子に供給される。On the other hand, in the noise level detection unit 4, the noise around the alarm/ringing tone generating device is detected by a noise sensor 4a composed of a microphone, etc., and is amplified by an amplifier 4a. ) is converted into a time-averaged noise level. This noise level is supplied to the gain control signal input terminal of the variable gain amplifier H3a via the variable attenuator 3c of the volume adjustment section 3.
可変利得増幅器３ａは、可変減衰器３Ｃから供給される
利得制御信号のレベルが増加するほど利得を増加させる

さい場合には小さ目の音量の警報音／呼出音がスピーカ
２から放出され、逆に周囲の騒音レベルが大きい場合に
は太き目の音量の警報音／呼出音がスピーカ２から放出
されることになる。The variable gain amplifier 3a is configured to increase its gain as the level of the gain control signal supplied from the variable attenuator 3C increases. Therefore, when the surrounding noise level is low, a low-volume alarm/ringing tone is emitted from the speaker 2, and conversely, when the surrounding noise level is high, a thicker-volume alarm/ringing tone is emitted. It will be emitted from the speaker 2.

その減衰量が設定される。The variable attenuator 3b in the volume adjustment section 3 is manually operated using an external adjustment knob or the like to adjust the basic volume, and the amount of attenuation is set. The variable attenuator 3C is manually operated using an external adjustment knob or the like to adjust the sensitivity of the volume change to the noise level.
The amount of attenuation is set.
