1. A control system for controlling a haptic feedback actuator of a vehicle, the control system comprising one or more controllers, the control system configured to:
receive vehicle parameter information being information indicative of a current value of at least one parameter associated with the vehicle;
receive information indicating that haptic feedback is required;
in response to receipt of information indicating that haptic feedback is required, generate a control signal for controlling operation of the haptic feedback actuator, the control signal being responsive to the vehicle parameter information; and
output the control signal,
wherein the vehicle parameter information comprises information indicative of haptic noise experienced by a driver of the vehicle over a prescribed frequency range, and the control system is arranged to generate the control signal to control the haptic feedback provided by the haptic feedback actuator to be output at a frequency within said prescribed frequency range and in phase with said haptic noise experienced by the driver.
