The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for generating a warning sound in an environmentally friendly energy vehicle.
A car that is driven by an internal combustion engine such as a general car, an engine bicycle or a scooter, runs idle even when stopped, generates a lot of noise while driving, and some models turn on the brakes and stop the engine after a predetermined time to reduce fuel consumption or noise. It provides a function to prevent the occurrence. However, in an electrically driven vehicle such as an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, the motor rotates or stops by the driver's operation.
In addition, a vehicle that is driven only by a rechargeable battery may be used at a low speed, but may cause a slight collision when approaching from behind a pedestrian or not seen.
Electric cars, etc., have little noise, so the driver needs to operate an alarm sound that often sounds a horn when meeting a pedestrian. In addition, pedestrians need to pay more attention to the proximity of the vehicle because the noise generated by the nature of the electric vehicle is less.
In order to solve the above problems, there is a conventional type of technology having a device for generating a virtual sound effect for the safety and convenience of the driver and pedestrian in the electric vehicle.
