Abstract
An air cleaner assembly 10 includes a filter located within a housing 12 between an air inlet 20 and outlet 22 for filtering airflow therebetween. The air inlet 20 extends from the housing 12 to communicate with an air intake port located at a vehicle location where fresh air is available. A resonator device 28 is mounted within the housing 12. The resonator device 12 includes a resonator volume 30 and a tuning neck 32. The resonator volume 30 fits into the housing 12 to reduce bulk and readily lend itself to adaptation to space requirements. The tuning neck 32 is mounted within the outlet 22 such that noise and vibration are communicated directly to the resonator device 28.
