Abstract: An audio control system includes: an obtainer that obtains sound data indicating a sound picked up by a microphone disposed in a second space located in an area surrounding a first space used by a person; a storage in which sound source data is stored; and a controller that causes a loudspeaker disposed in the first space or the second space to reproduce an audio obtained from the sound source data more loudly in the second space than in the first space. The controller determines a loudness the sound indicated in the sound data obtained, and adjusts a sound volume of the audio outputted from the loudspeaker to be lower with an increase in the loudness of the sound determined.
