A component, such as an intake manifold or a throttle body, has an air
passage. A structure may extend into the air passage so that the
structure intersects a part of a total air-flow passing through the air
passage. The structure may have a first through-hole and a second
through-hole. Each of the through-holes define a cross-sectional area
that may tapers in a direction of air-flow that is passing through the
air passage so that a cross-sectional area of an entrance of the
respective through-hole is greater than a cross-sectional area of an exit
of the respective through-hole. The structure helps attenuate acoustic
noise that may occur in the component due to the air-flow.
