An apparatus for generating a driving sound in a vehicle includes a first conversion device that receives first sound information and converts the received first sound information into second sound information, a second conversion device that converts the second sound information into third sound information based on a conversion parameter, a storage that receives feedback information of a user about the third sound information and corrects and stores the third sound information, and a playback device that plays the stored third sound information.

Apparatus for generating driving sound in vehicle and method thereof

A system and a method for controlling sound output in a vehicle can enhance driving sensitivity. The system includes a sensing device that obtains vehicle information of the vehicle, a sound device that plays and outputs a vehicle sound through speakers, a seat device that controls seat vibration based on the vehicle sound, and a control device connected with the sensing device, the sound device, and the seat device. The control device determines a driving mode of the vehicle based on the vehicle information, performs sound shift control for the speakers based on the driving mode, and controls the seat vibration in conjunction with the sound shift control.

System and method for controlling sound output in vehicle

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle seat so as to control a seat back and a neck pillow based on a sound. The apparatus includes the vehicle seat installed in a vehicle and including a seat back and a neck pillow, a detector for detecting vehicle information and seat information, and a processor connected to the vehicle seat and the detector, wherein the processor determines a vehicle state and a seat sitting posture based on the vehicle information and the seat information, analyzes a sound being reproduced in the vehicle, determines a haptic pattern and a haptic pressure based on the vehicle state and the seat sitting posture, and the analysis of the sound, and controls the seat back and the neck pillow based on the determined haptic pattern and haptic pressure to provide a haptic effect.

Apparatus and method for controlling vehicle seat

A sound generation apparatus for an electrification vehicle and a method of use thereof are provided. In example embodiments, the sound generation apparatus receives driving information, determines a driving situation based on the driving information, designs an acceleration sound when the driving situation is determined as an acceleration situation, or designs a cornering sound when the driving situation is determined as a cornering situation, and plays and outputs the acceleration sound or the cornering sound.

Sound generation apparatus of electrification vehicle and method thereof

An apparatus and a method for caring emotion of a driver based on a vehicle sound, may include a detector configured to detect driving information of the vehicle and body information of a user, a non-transitory storage to store instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions. The processor determines an emotional status of the driver by use of at least one of the driving information or the body information, to generate a healing sound by designing a virtual sound based on the driving information and the emotional status of the driver, and to generate and output the healing sound.

Apparatus and method for caring emotion based on vehicle sound

An active sound design (ASD) tuning device and a method thereof may include an ASD device that generates a virtual engine sound for each vehicle situation and a control device that outputs a composite sound by correcting and synthesizing the virtual engine sound and an internal sound measured for each vehicle situation based on a binaural vehicle impulse response (BVIR).

Active sound design (ASD) tuning device of vehicle and method thereof

A system for generating a virtual engine sound may include a server having information on at least one review of the virtual engine sound, and a virtual engine sound generator to generate 'my sound' by tuning the virtual engine sound based on information on customized design settings, to update a preset driver emotion model for each emotion evaluation area of the virtual engine sound, based on the information on the at least one review of the virtual engine sound, which is received from the server, and to update the virtual engine sound based on the “my sound” and the driver emotion model updated for each emotion evaluation area.

System and method for generating virtual engine sound of vehicle

Disclosed is a sound design method for overcoming sense of difference when there is no virtual sound while an auto cruise control is activated. The method includes determining whether an accelerator pedal is actuated; upon determining that the accelerator pedal is not actuated, determining whether an auto cruise control system is operating; upon determining whether the auto cruise control system is operating, classifying a vehicle speed-based order component from a driving sound; and reproducing a speed sensitive virtual sound based on the classified vehicle speed-based order component.

Device and method for generating sound for vehicle

A method for generating a virtual engine sound and a virtual engine sound generating system using the same involve determining a basic waveform of a virtual engine sound based on engine variables including an engine RPM, primarily correcting a basic level of the basic waveform based on environmental variables to determine a primarily corrected waveform, secondarily correcting the primarily corrected waveform based on reaction variables to determine a final waveform, and generating a virtual engine sound having the final waveform through a sound generation device.
