US 2021/0241746 A1 · SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Abstract

The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus and method, and a program that can easily make a leaking sound difficult to hear. A signal processing apparatus includes a masking sound generation unit that, in a case where a first content is reproduced in a first region and a second content is reproduced in a second region by wave field synthesis using a speaker array, generates a masking sound for masking a sound of the first content and a sound of the second content heard in a region between the first region and the second region. The present technology can be applied to content reproduction systems.
