Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for providing a vehicle sound includes a communicator configured to communicates with an electronic device, a detector configured to detect driver's driving pattern information and road driving condition information of a vehicle, and a controller coupled to the communicator and the detector. The controller is configured to obtain music information from the electronic device and calculate a music emotional quotient (EQ) index based on the music information, the driver's driving pattern information, and the road driving condition information. The controller is also configured to select a game sound type based on the music EQ index, and provide an emotional sound matched with the game sound type.
