The virtual engine sound can generate various sounds from an internal combustion engine to a spacecraft sound using sources. However, since it is hard to analyze sources, synthesizers, and control variables, it is difficult to produce a target sound. This paper proposes a virtual engine sound generation method based on a transformer to design sounds suitable for the target vehicle. The proposed method learns a virtual engine sound generator using data acquired according to the driving situation. Moreover, the transformer is used to alleviate repeatability. Therefore, this method can reproduce virtual engine sounds with complex structures and change styles.
