An airflow generating device includes an airflow generating portion, a duct, and a controller. The airflow generating portion is configured to generate an airflow. The duct is configured to guide the airflow to a blowing outlet through which the airflow is blown out toward a passenger in a vehicle cabin. The controller is configured to cause the airflow to be intermittently blown out through the blowing outlet by controlling a frequency of a pulse voltage applied to the air flow generating portion and a duty ratio of a pulse width to a pulse period of the pulse voltage. The controller is configured to control the duty ratio and the frequency of the voltage such that the airflow is blown out through the blowing outlet at a speed between a predetermined lower limit, inclusive, and a maximum lower limit, non-inclusive, which is greater than the lower limit.
