- the control part 34 sets the frequency f out to the frequency fo which is the initial value. Besides, the control part 34 sets the duty ratio D out to the duty ratio Do which is the initial value (step S101).
- the control part 34 when a warning signal is obtained from outside, the control part 34 generates PWM signals of the set frequency f out and duty ratio D out , and outputs the generated PWM signals to the driving part 33. In this way, the control part 34 energizes the coil 24 and vibrates the diaphragm 21 at the frequency fo, by which sound is produced from the sound outlet 12 of the resonator 1 to outside.
- the control part 34 obtains the temperature T from the temperature measurement part 30.
- the control part 34 determines whether the obtained temperature T is lower than the first temperature threshold T th1 (step S103). In the case when the obtained temperature T is determined to be lower than the first temperature threshold T th1 , the control part 34 sets the frequency f out to a value (f 0 +fx) obtained by adding the predetermined frequency fx to the frequency fo (step S104).
- the expression that the temperature T is lower than the first temperature threshold T th1 means that the temperature T is in a range of low temperature.

- the control part 34 determines whether the present duty ratio D out is the lower limit (step S116). When it is determined that the present duty ratio D out is not the lower limit, the control part 34 sets a value obtained by subtracting a predetermined duty ratio Dx (for example, 10%) from the present duty ratio D out as a new duty ratio D out (step S117). On the other hand, when the present duty ratio D out is determined to be the lower limit, the control part 34 sets the present duty ratio D out to the duty ratio Do (step S115).

- the control part 34 usually controls the current value Ic flowing through the coil 24 to a scope ranging from the first current threshold I th1 to the second current threshold I th2 .
- the resistance value of the coil 24 changes, so that the current value I C flowing through the coil 24 may fall outside the scope ranging from the first current threshold I th1 to the second current threshold I th2 .
- the current value flowing through the coil 24 may increase above the second current threshold I th2 . In this situation, because the current value flowing through the coil 24 increases, the magnetic force of the electromagnet increases.
- the movable iron core 22 and the fixed iron core 23 may collide with each other, resulting in an abnormal noise. Therefore, when the current value Ic flowing through the coil 24 increases above the second current threshold I th2 , the control part 34 of this embodiment prevents the increase of the magnetic force of the electromagnet by reducing the duty ratio D out . Accordingly, the control part 34 can prevent the abnormal noise generated due to the collision of the movable iron core 22 and the fixed iron core 23.
- the horn device A changes the frequency which vibrates the diaphragm 21 according to the temperature T measured by the temperature measurement part 30.
- the horn device A can correct the vibration frequency of the diaphragm 21 to the resonance frequency fc even when the resonance frequency fc changes because of the change of the ambient temperature. Therefore, the horn device A can ensure the predetermined sound pressure even when the resonance frequency fc of the diaphragm 21 changes because of the increasing or decreasing of the ambient temperature.
- the aforementioned horn device A changes the duty ratio D out according to the current value I C flowing through the coil 24. Accordingly, the control part 34 prevented the increase of the current value Ic flowing through the coil 24 due to the decreasing of the ambient temperature. Therefore, the horn device A can prevent the abnormal noise which is generated because the movable iron core 22 and the fixed iron core 23 collide with each other due to the increasing of the current value Ic.
- the control part 34 when the ambient temperature is low, the control part 34 deviates the frequency f out from the resonance frequency fc by changing the corrected frequency f out . Accordingly, the vibration of the diaphragm 21 can be prevented and the abnormal noise can be prevented.
- the control part 34 deviates the frequency f out from the resonance frequency fc by performing the treatment (step S201) in which a value obtained by subtracting 2 ⁇ fx from the present frequency f out is set as the new frequency f out . That is, when the temperature T is lower than the predetermined temperature, the control part 34 reduces the vibration frequency.
- the present frequency is referred to as the value f' out .
- the setting method of the frequency f out in steps S104, 106, 108 and 109 is just an example, and the present invention is not limited to this situation. That is, when the temperature T falls into the range of low temperature, the control part 34 just has to set the frequency f out to a value lower than the frequency fo, and when the temperature T falls into the range of high temperature, the control part 34 just has to set the frequency f out to a value higher than the frequency fo.
