Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) One way to represent the characteristics of environmental sounds is to imitate the environmental sounds by human voice called vocal imitation. The input information (e.g., image, text, etc.) in conventional environmental sound synthesis cannot represent the pitch and rhythm of environmental sounds.On the other hand, vocal imitation is effective in representing the pitch and rhythm of environmental sounds.We thus create a dataset of vocal imitations of environmental sounds.We also propose an environmental sound synthesis method using vocal imitation of environmental sounds.Using vocal imitations and sound event labels as input to the environmental sound synthesis model, we can control the pitch, rhythm, and sound event of the synthesized sounds.Experimental results show that using vocal imitations effectively controls the pitch and rhythm of synthesized sounds.
