Abstract: A vehicle sound generation device includes a sound control circuit that sets one or more frequencies according to a number of revolutions of the rotary power source, and generates a synthetic sound signal representing a synthetic sound including one or more element sounds having the one or more frequencies. The sound control circuit sets the synthetic sound so that a sound pressure of the synthetic sound includes a reference sound pressure component and a variable sound pressure component. A magnitude of the reference sound pressure component increases as the number of revolutions of the rotary power source increases, and a magnitude of the variable sound pressure component varies within a predetermined amplitude with a period of a predetermined increase amount of the number of revolutions as the number of revolutions of the rotary power source increases.

Abstract: A vehicle sound generation device includes a sound control circuit that sets a plurality of frequencies according to a number of motor revolutions and sound pressures to be applied to the plurality of frequencies and generates a sound signal representing a synthetic sound including the sounds of the plurality of frequencies to which the set sound pressures have been applied, a speaker that outputs a sound according to the sound signal, generated by the sound control unit 12, and a travel situation estimation circuit that estimates a travel situation in which the driver accelerates or decelerates a vehicle at a rate below a predetermined threshold. The sound control circuit generates the sound signal representing only the single sound of the frequency in a range from 400 Hz to 900 Hz among the sounds of the plurality of frequencies when the travel situation is estimated.
