An apparatus for synthesizing an engine sound, comprising:
- a memory configured to store a plurality of combustion sound samples corresponding to a respective cylinder among a plurality of cylinders included in an engine;
- a sound output unit;
- and
- a processor configured to determine a combustion period of the engine and to cause at least one of the stored plurality of combustion sound samples to overlap combustion noises from a corresponding cylinder among the plurality of cylinders by outputting, through the sound output unit, a synthesized virtual engine sound according to the determined combustion period.
