    Abstract: A vehicle warning sound emitting apparatus comprises a warning sound emitting component (2) and a controller (1). The warning sound emitting component (2) is configured to selectively emit a warning sound that is audible outside of the vehicle (3). The controller (11) is configured to control the warning sound emitting component (2) to emit the warning sound to convey vehicle information to a person in a surrounding area outside the vehicle (3) while a prescribed warning sound emission condition is satisfied. The controller (11) is further configured to change an operating state of an engine (4) of the vehicle (3) such that an engine sound emitted by the engine (4) while the warning sound emission is satisfied is louder than the engine sound that is emitted by the engine (4) when the warning sound emission condition is not satisfied.
