The present invention relates to a virtual engine sound control apparatus. The virtual engine sound control apparatus of the present invention comprises: a sensor unit for sensing a location of a pedestrian of the vehicle front; a speaker unit which outputs a virtual engine sound in all directions of a vehicle or outputs a sound guidance message only at a location of the pedestrian; and a control unit which changes a sound focus point output through the speaker unit to operate in a virtual engine sound system (VESS) mode or in a pedestrian communication mode which delivers the sound guidance message only to the pedestrian location. An objective of the present invention is to provide the virtual engine sound control apparatus, which allows an operation in the pedestrian communication mode which delivers a guidance sound only to a specific location where the pedestrian is present, and a method thereof.
