Abstract: A method for controlling an environmentally-friendly vehicle operating sound generator apparatus. The method includes a step of providing an environmentally-friendly vehicle operating sound generator apparatus. The method further includes a diagnosis confirmation step of allowing the control unit to confirm a connection state of the sound output unit and an operation state of the sound source playback unit and compare an output of the sound source amplification unit with a preset reference value to diagnose the presence of distortion. The method further includes an operating sound execution step of allowing the control unit to determine whether or not to generate an operating sound of the environmentally-friendly vehicle according to the vehicle operation state sensed by the vehicle state sensing unit, output at least one sound source, selected from among the sound sources stored in the sound source storage unit, as the operating sound through the sound output unit.

Abstract: An environmentally-friendly vehicle sound generator apparatus. The apparatus includes a vehicle state sensing unit, a sound source storage unit, a sound source playback unit, a sound source amplification unit, a sound output unit, and a control unit. The control unit receives a sensing signal from the vehicle state sensing unit and controlling the operation of the sound source playback unit so as to play back the operating sound in different playback methods to control and change the operating sound according to the received sensing signal. The vehicle state sensing unit senses a vehicle speed, and if it is determined according to a vehicle speed signal that the vehicle speed reaches a preset speed range, the control unit fades out the output of the sound output unit at a preset ratio of the vehicle speed to a time elapsed after the vehicle speed reaches the preset speed range.
