Abstract
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.
