An apparatus and methods are provided for a sound effect generation system for broadcasting engine sounds outside a vehicle. The sound effect generation system enables a driver to select and manipulate the sounds emitted outside the vehicle. The sound effect generation system includes a wireless sound generator module for simulating engine sounds, a speaker for broadcasting the engine sounds outside the vehicle, and an external GPS antenna for measuring a speed of the vehicle. When the vehicle is turned on and remains stationary, the sound generator module simulates an idling internal combustion engine. When the speed of the vehicle increases, revving of the internal combustion engine and transmission shifting are simulated. When the speed of the vehicle decreases, a decelerating internal combustion engine is simulated. The sound effect generation system includes settings that may be accessed by a wireless mobile device whereby the driver can manipulate the engine sounds.
