Disclosed are an apparatus for controlling a virtual engine sound system of a vehicle, and a method thereof. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the provided apparatus for controlling the virtual engine sound system of the vehicle comprises: a pedestrian detection unit for detecting a pedestrian in the vicinity of the vehicle; a virtual engine sound output unit for outputting a virtual engine sound; a noise measuring unit which measures an external noise of the vehicle; and a control unit for controlling whether the virtual engine sound is output and a volume of the virtual engine sound based on noise information measured by the pedestrian and the noise measuring unit detected by the pedestrian detection unit. The control unit controls the volume of the virtual engine sound by using the noise information corresponding to a frequency domain of the virtual engine sound. An objective of the present invention is to provide the apparatus for controlling the virtual engine sound system of the vehicle, which allows the pedestrian to easily recognize approach of the vehicle, and the method thereof.
