An acoustic generator according to an aspect of an embodiment includes an exciter, a vibrating body, and a damping member. The exciter receives input of an electric signal and vibrates. The exciter is attached to the vibrating body, and the vibrating body vibrates together with the exciter with vibration of the exciter. The damping member is attached so as to vibrate together with the vibrating body and the exciter and has a non-uniform thickness in a direction orthogonal to a vibration surface of the vibrating body.
