A vehicle sound generating apparatus (10) comprises a processing device (20) configured to receive at least one reference signal (MPS, IMS) which is configured to derive therefrom at least one characteristic of an environment which the vehicle (1) is travelling in or proximate to, and at least one sound generator (30) coupled with the processing device (20) for generating and emitting sound with an environment imitation sound profile. The processing device (20) is configured to determine a countryside environment category from a plurality of countryside environment categories based on the at least one reference signal (MPS, IMS), and to determine the environment imitation sound profile of the emitted sound from a plurality of environment imitation sound profiles dependent on the determined countryside environment category. The at least one sound generator (30) is configured and arranged to emit sound having the determined environment imitation sound profile into a passenger cabin (3) of the vehicle (1) during vehicle motion.
