To obtain an appropriate evaluation value in an acoustic quality evaluation by a conversational test. An acoustic quality evaluation apparatus 3 evaluates the acoustic quality of a call performed between a near-end terminal 1 and a far-end terminal 2 via a voice communication network 4. An evaluation value presenting unit 31 displays, on a display unit 13, evaluation categories obtained by classifying each of a plurality of evaluation viewpoints into a predetermined number of levels. An input unit 14 transmits the evaluation category selected by the evaluator for each of the evaluation viewpoints, to an evaluation value determination unit 32. The evaluation value determination unit 32 determines the lowest evaluation value among evaluation values assigned to the evaluation category received from the input unit 14 as a subjective evaluation value for acoustic quality.

To improve accuracy of an evaluation in an acoustic quality evaluation test performed by comparing an evaluation target sound and a reference sound. A data correction apparatus 3 compares, in a call performed between a near-end terminal 1 and a far-end terminal 2, an evaluation target sound in which a voice output from the near-end terminal 1 is recorded and a reference sound in which a voice spoken by a call partner using the far-end terminal 2 to correct test data used in a listening test for evaluating acoustic quality of the call. A correction target determination unit 31 determines, as a correction target section, a voiced section that does not include the voice of the call partner detected from an acoustic signal representing the reference sound. A correction execution unit 32 updates the correction target section of the acoustic signal representing the reference sound with a non-voice signal predetermined.

The number of conversational tests required for evaluation of acoustic quality of the ICC system is reduced. An evaluation value converting device 3 evaluates the quality of a conversation made across a near-end acoustic area 100 and a far-end acoustic area 200 inside a vehicle in which a plurality of acoustic areas are predetermined. A voice signal collected by a microphone M2 disposed in the far-end acoustic area 200 is emitted from a speaker S1 disposed in the near-end acoustic area 100. An objective evaluation value acquisition unit 33 acquires an evaluation value using, as an evaluation target sound, a voice signal obtained by adding a voice signal obtained from a first voice signal emitted from a sound source in the far-end acoustic area 200, collected by the microphone M2, and emitted from the speaker S1 to a voice signal obtained from the first voice signal transmitted through a space inside the vehicle and reaching the near-end acoustic area 100, with the first voice signal being used as a reference sound.
