Recently quietness has become an important quality parameter for automotive vehicles and as a result various improvements have been brought to reduce noise at system and vehicle level. Due to stringent noise emission norms on automotive vehicles and increasing desire of quieter in-cab performance by users, reduction of air intake noise tends to be an area of explanation. Air intake noise, which was relatively considered as a minor source of noise in the past, is now gaining importance. To reduce air intake noise basically resonator and expansion chamber are used on automotive vehicles. Resonators are widely used for noise reduction of intake and exhaust systems, but due to increased number of components, its associated cost; complexity of the system increases. The next option that is an expansion chamber prevents the formation of large amplitude standing waves and dissipates sound energy, however use of such a device reduces engine torque at narrow range of engine speeds.
