Abstract
A sound generating apparatus for a vehicle includes: a motor controller that generates a motor torque corresponding to a target sound; and an output device that outputs the target sound based on vibration generated by the motor torque to generate a sound of the vehicle without requiring an external amplifier or a separate actuator, thus preventing increases in cost and weight.
