Abstract
According to an embodiment, an acoustic output apparatus includes an acquisition unit and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires non-stationary sound data that masks an operating sound, in which the operating sound is based on an operation of the operation unit. The output unit outputs a non-stationary sound based on the sound data acquired by the acquisition unit during occurrence of the operating sound.
