That is, the second electric motor MG2 is connected to the power transmission system on the input side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13, the inertia characteristic (inertia balance) changes to change the resonance point of the power transmission system of the damper main.
- FIGS. 14 and 15 are diagrams illustrating a region where noise due to resonance occurs corresponding to the operating point of the engine 12, FIG. 14 shows a relationship in a state where the clutch CL is released, and FIG. The relationship in a state where the clutch CL is engaged is shown.
- NG regions where noise due to primary components of engine explosion are generated as fluctuations generated as the engine 12 rotates are represented by dots.
- NG regions where noise due to the 0.5th-order component of engine rotation (variation occurring every 1/2 cycle due to engine rotation) is generated are indicated by hatched ranges from upper left to lower right.

- This optimum fuel efficiency rate curve is also a series of points that are experimentally set in advance so as to achieve both drivability and fuel efficiency and represent the minimum fuel efficiency operating point of the engine 12.
- the NG region where the noise due to the engine rotation 0.5th order component indicated by the hatched area is generated is the engagement state of the clutch CL. Move by switching. That is, in the relationship shown in FIG. 14, the NG region where the noise due to the engine rotation 0.5th order component indicated by the hatched area is on the relatively high engine rotation speed side (high rotation speed side).

- the inertia of the second electric motor MG2 is added to the power transmission system related to the power transmission between the engine 12 and the first electric motor MG1, thereby resonating the damper main.
- the frequency (resonance point) moves to the low frequency side. Accordingly, when the clutch CL is engaged, the NG region in which noise due to the engine rotation 0.5th order component indicated by the hatched range is generated is relatively relatively engine-free as shown in FIG. 15 as compared with the relationship shown in FIG. Move to the low rotation speed side (low rotation speed side).
- noise due to the engine rotation 0.5th order component may be generated when the clutch CL is engaged.
- the generated NG region is too close to the relatively low engine rotation speed (low rotation speed side), and the overlapping range with the NG region in which noise due to the primary component of the engine explosion is generated is narrow. It is conceivable that the OK region where the generation of noise due to the accompanying fluctuations does not matter becomes narrow. In such a case, by releasing the clutch CL, the NG region where noise due to the 0.5th-order component of the engine rotation is generated moves to a relatively high engine rotation speed side (high rotation speed side).
- the overlapping range with the NG region where noise due to the primary component of the engine explosion is generated is widened. Therefore, the OK region where the generation of noise due to fluctuations caused by the rotation of the engine 12 is not a problem is widened.

As a result, the NG region in which noise and vibration are likely to occur is reduced, and it becomes possible to take the operating point of the engine 12 that is more suitable than the conventional one, thereby improving the fuel consumption.
