An input sound processor compares power at each frequency component of an
input sound with a reference value, and sets multiplication points
indicating frequency components at which the total power of the input
sound is to be determined. A product-sum operation is performed at the
multiplication points on the power at each frequency component and the
square amplitude of each filter coefficient indicating the transfer
characteristic from a loudspeaker to a microphone to estimate the total
power of the input sound at the position of the microphone.
