Abstract
A vehicle includes: a battery; a thermal management system; and an ECU. The thermal management system includes an electric pump that circulates a heat medium that exchanges heat with the battery. The thermal management system performs thermal management in the vehicle. When a temperature of the battery is raised using the thermal management system, ECU controls the electric pump such that a noise caused by driving of the electric pump is suppressed when there is no background noise as compared with when there is a background noise, the background noise being a noise caused by a device other than the electric pump.
