    Abstract: An audio content providing apparatus (2000) acquires user position information (80) that indicates a user position (30). The audio content providing apparatus (2000) sets a sound image localization position (50) on the basis of the user position (30) and a reference position (40), in a case where a user (20) is present in a target region (70). Here, a distance between the user position (30) and the sound image localization position (50) is shorter than a distance between the user position (30) and the reference position (40). The audio content providing apparatus (2000) outputs audio content (10) such that a sound image is localized at the sound image localization position (50).
