A sound signal processing system includes: a first obtainer that obtains recurrence plot information indicating a characteristic of a first sound; a second obtainer that obtains a sound signal of a second sound different from the first sound; a generator that generates a sound signal in which the characteristic of the first sound is reflected in the sound signal of the second sound, based on the recurrence plot information obtained by the first obtainer, the sound signal of the second sound being obtained by the second obtainer; and an outputter that outputs the sound signal generated.

A spectral power distribution (SPD) fusion lighting apparatus includes a first visible light source with a first SPD, a second visible light source with a second SPD, a driver circuit, and a controller. The first SPD is different than the second SPD markedly in a 50 nm wavelength range. The controller toggles the turning on of the first visible light and the second visible light at a frequency greater than 25 Hz. The first visible light source is turned on during one half of the duty cycle, whereas the second visible light source is turned on during the other half of the duty cycle. The first visible light source and the second visible light emit similar light outputs and have similar chromaticity coordinates on the CIE 1931 color space chromaticity diagram. In some embodiments a sound wave generator is used to generate a sound wave at the same frequency.

An autonomous vehicle control device controls an autonomous vehicle provided with a warning sound output device. The autonomous vehicle control device prohibits transition to a traveling mode when an abnormality occurs in the warning sound output device. Before traveling, the autonomous vehicle control device may execute sound output control to cause the warning sound output device to output a warning sound, and determine whether the abnormality occurs based on output data of the warning sound output by the warning sound output device.
