Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide real refreshing wakening effect by changing the frequency and sound volume of alarm sound, by amplifying the output of a signal generation part changing in frequency along with a time through a coupling part having a frequency characteristic. CONSTITUTION:The output 15 of a signal generation part 11 changing in frequency along with a time is connected to an output amplifier 13 through a coupling part 12 having a frequency characteristic and characterized in that frequency becomes high along with a time. The frequency characteristic of the coupling part is set so that the output is low when frequency is low and increases as the frequency becomes high. Therefore, a signal increasing in output along with a time can be obtained as the output 16 of the coupling part 12.
