A vehicle existence notification apparatus disposed in a vehicle includes a sound wave generation unit that transmits a sound wave to an area outside of the vehicle, and a control unit that controls the sound wave generation unit to generate a notification sound. The control unit generates a stopping-vehicle notification sound for notifying existence of a stop condition of the vehicle, and generates a moving-vehicle notification sound for notifying existence of a traveling condition of the vehicle. The simulated idling sound enables a pedestrian to recognize the vehicle when the vehicle is in a stop condition, and the simulated moving-vehicle sound enables the pedestrian to recognize the vehicle when the vehicle is in a traveling condition.
