Abstract

A tone emphasizing device includes a tone emphasizing unit that includes a level detecting unit that detects a fundamental tone level of a tone of a given pitch included in an original tone reproduced by a data player; an extracting unit that extracts frequency components of a fundamental tone and overtones from the original tone; a frequency correcting unit that eliminates, from the extracted frequency components, frequency components equal to or lower than the fundamental tone and frequency components equal to or higher than an overtone included in the tone of the given pitch; and a level adjusting unit that adjusts, according to results obtained by the level detecting unit, a level of the corrected tone. The tone emphasizing device further includes an amplifying unit that amplifies to a desired level, the tone having an adjusted level; and an adding unit that adds to the original tone, the amplified tone.
