An air-intake device having a noise reduction mechanism includes a surge
tank connected to an intake manifold for introducing intake air into an
internal combustion engine, an air duct connected to an upstream end of
the surge tank and a resonator connected to the surge tank and the air
duct. The resonator forms a resonator chamber connected to both the surge
tank and the air duct. The surge tank is separated from the resonator
chamber by a first vibrating member, and the air duct is separated from
the resonator chamber by a second vibrating member. The noises in the
surge tank are offset or reduced by resonating vibrations of the first
vibrating member, and the noises in the air duct are offset or reduced by
resonating vibrations of the second vibrating member. Thus, the intake
air noises are effectively reduced by a simple combination of the
resonator and the vibrating members.
