Provided is a flow modification component for use with a muffler, which can be a Helmholtz resonator muffler, a side branch muffler, or a Y-pipe. The flow modification component includes a porous plate adapted for incorporation into a passage to a sound muffling portion connected to a through passage pipe of the muffler or Y-pipe. One or more openings are formed on the porous plate to allow low frequency acoustic waves to pass through into the passage to the sound muffling portion while reducing large-scale turbulent eddies that produce undesirable resonant tones within the aperture tube to small-scale turbulent eddies. The openings having sufficient porosity such that the resulting sound frequency is determined by size, shape, number, and spacing of the openings. The flow modification component can also include a dissipative material component in an internal port passage of the muffler to further reduce resonant tones.

The dual inlet exhaust design for the flying device incorporates easy-to-assemble designs with low number of components, suitable for limited space and small volume requirements, good performance. The exhaust is designed as a three-chamber cylinder with two coaxial inlet pipes running through the two chambers on both sides, extending into the middle compartment. The width of the two inlet tubes in the middle compartment is different. The inlet pipe at the two compartments on both sides has a bore. The outlet tube is located in the middle compartment, deviating to the side with a smaller expansion inlet, with the longitudinal axis of the outlet tube passing through the inlet tube.

An apparatus and method are provided for a drone elimination muffler to attenuate drone exhibited by engine exhaust systems. The drone elimination muffler comprises a hollow canister having a length and a diameter, and a tuned port comprising a first end connected to the canister and a second end connected to the exhaust system. The canister operates in concert with the tuned port as a dampener configured to substantially attenuate exhaust drone, or resonance, at one or more frequencies of engine operation. A valve is configured to switch the drone elimination muffler between a closed state in which the exhaust system operates without acoustic influence due to the drone elimination muffler, and an open state in which the drone elimination muffler directly influences the acoustic properties of the exhaust system.

An exhaust muffler for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, especially for a vehicle, includes a muffler housing with a flow volume (42), through which exhaust gas can flow, an exhaust gas inlet (28) and an exhaust gas outlet (36). A first resonator chamber (44) is open towards the flow volume (42) via a first resonator neck (68). A second resonator chamber (46) is open towards the flow volume (42) via a second resonator neck (74). A resonator pipe (52) provides the first resonator neck (68) and the second resonator neck (74).

A damping device, in particular for damping or preventing pressure impacts, like pulsations, in hydraulic supply circuits, comprising a damping housing (1) which surrounds a damping chamber and has at least one fluid inlet (13) and a fluid outlet (15) and a damping tube (21; 51) located in the flow path between the damping inlet and outlet, said damping tube having at least one branch opening (29; 73, 75, 77, 79, 81) passing through the tube wall and leading to a Helmholtz volume (27; 53, 55, 57, 59, 61) inside of the damping housing (1) for forming a Helmholtz resonator in a region positioned inside of the length of the damping tube, characterized in that a fluid filter (35) is arranged inside of the damping housing (1) in the flow path running between the fluid inlet (13) and fluid outlet (15).

A road vehicle comprising: a passenger compartment; an internal combustion engine; an exhaust system, which releases into the atmosphere the gases generated by the combustion, is connected to the internal combustion engine, and ends with at least one silencer having at least one outlet pipe; and an exhaust noise transmission device, which is provided with a transmission conduit, which originates close to the outlet pipe of the silencer, ends in the area of a wall of the passenger compartment, and is provided, on the inside, with at least one insulating element, which is arranged inside the transmission conduit so as to tightly seal the transmission conduit.

Disclosed herein is a meta-muffler for reducing broadband noise. The meta-muffler includes: a flow pipe through which a fluid flows; an outer barrel disposed outside the flow pipe to be spaced apart from the flow pipe; and multiple metastructures arranged in a flow direction of the fluid and each comprising an opening opened parallel to the flow direction of the fluid, a resonance chamber disposed between the flow pipe and the outer barrel and communicating with the flow pipe through the opening, and a neck adjustment member extending from the outer barrel toward the flow pipe to be spaced apart from the opening in the flow direction of the fluid. The meta-muffler can increase transmission loss of noise flowing through the flow pipe through maximization of energy loss of sound waves entering the resonance chamber of the metastructure and can effectively attenuate noise over a wide band ranging from low frequencies to high frequencies.

The resonator is configured to attenuate the noise in a duct delimiting an internal channel for the flow of a fluid according to a reference axis, of the type including an annular compartment configured to extend around the channel and provided with at least one orifice forming a neck for communication with the flow channel so as to form a resonance chamber. Accordingly, the compartment has an inner structure with a geometry shaped so as to produce a revolution annular asymmetry of the resonance chamber about the reference axis, adapted to generate a phase shift of an acoustic pressure wave reflected inside the chamber relative to an acoustic pressure wave incident from the main flow.

A sound suppressor for use in firearms, internal combustion engines, and numerous other sound-generating devices includes a structure having a plurality of ports, openings, or orifices which function as whistles and which suppress sound from a source of the sound using destructive interference. A combination of varying distances between components is configured for delaying the wave from one port or whistle to the next, so that the whistles are partially out of phase with respect to time, and placing the orifices of the whistles a certain distance apart to compensate for the remaining phase difference in order to create the desired destructive interference.
