Abstract
A gasket has a gasket member including a metal sheet and rubber layers put over both faces of the metal sheet. The gasket member includes a seal bead, at least one insertion hole, and at least one dummy bead. The seal bead is a part protruding from a lower face of the gasket member side toward an upper face of the gasket member side. The insertion hole is a through hole into which a fastener is inserted. The dummy bead is a part protruding from the lower face of the gasket member side toward the upper face of the gasket member side. The dummy bead extends around the insertion hole. A resonance frequency of the gasket member is adjusted by a length of the dummy bead in a direction of extension.
