Abstract
A vehicle outputs a driving sound generated based on the driver's preference rather than outputting a uniform driving sound. The vehicle includes a sensor that acquires at least one of a facial image, an audio signal, and a biometric signal. A database stores a plurality of sound sources classified according to driver information. A controller calculates the driver information based on at least one of the facial image, the audio signal, and the biometric signal, selects any one of the plurality of sound sources stored in the database based on the calculated driver information, generates a driving sound based on the selected sound source, and operates a speaker to output the generated driving sound.
