The voiced sound interval classification device comprises a vector calculation unit which calculates, from a power spectrum time series of voice signals, a multidimensional vector series as a vector series of a power spectrum having as many dimensions as the number of microphones, a difference calculation unit which calculates, with respect to each time of the multidimensional vector series, a vector of a difference between the time and the preceding time, a sound source direction estimation unit which estimates, as a sound source direction, a main component of the differential vector, and a voiced sound interval determination unit which determines whether each sound source direction is in a voiced sound interval or a voiceless sound interval by using a predetermined voiced sound index indicative of a likelihood of a voiced sound interval of the voice signal applied at each time.
