A muffler which reduces noises of a wide frequency band with a simple
structure. Sound waves of an intake duct enter into and are received in a
resonance box via a branch pipe. At the branch pipe, a movable body
slidingly abuts a peripheral portion of an opening of a cut-out portion.
Due to the movable body rotating, a range of opening/closing of the
cut-out portion is changed, and a length of a neck portion formed by the
branch pipe and an arc-shaped plate, and a lateral cross-sectional
surface area of a distal end of the neck portion, are changed.
