Abstract
An IC engine is a major source of noise pollution, where exhaust noise play major contribution. That is why the reduction of exhaust noise from engines is an important issue. A muffler in the exhaust pipe is used for reducing noise. Muffler requires specific design considering various noise parameters. In this the tunable resonator is used whose length can be varied by using a piston that can be set at different positions. Noise level is also measured at the different positions of resonator to check the effect of variation of length of silencer that shows the smaller the resonator size better is insertion loss. A muffler for stationary petrol engine (engine test rig) has been designed. Sound level is measured before and muffler installation at different position of resonator piston & the effect of resonator length is studied.
