Muffler Technology: A Look Inside Fresno CA
Regardless of the name, mufflers all do something to change, dampen or absorb the noise-producing pressure pulses in the exhaust. Some mufflers do it by creating resistance with baffles and louvered tubes. For details of mufflers, please keep on reading.

Is a muffler nothing more than a steel can with some baffles and tubes inside? That's how most mufflers look, but there's a lot more to muffler science than meets the eye. A muffler's job is to muffle sound. That's why we call them mufflers. In England they're called silencers. Regardless of the name, they all do something to change, dampen or absorb the noise-producing pressure pulses in the exhaust. Some mufflers do it by creating resistance with baffles and louvered tubes. Resistance to flow causes the pressure pulses to stack up and dissipate, lowering their energy and the level of sound they produce (which is measured in decibels). Some mufflers turn the pressure pulses against themselves by rerouting and redirecting the exhaust through "tuning" chambers. By carefully adjusting the volume and length of the chambers, the pressure pulses can be attenuated within certain frequencies. Another trick that's used to control noise is to pack areas around the louvered tubes inside the muffler with strands of fiberglass (called "roving"). The sound-absorbing properties of the fibrous material acts like insulation to further absorb and dampen energy in the exhaust pulses. 
More recently, the science of acoustics and gas flow dynamics has yielded some new muffler designs that use "reflective sound cancellation" (RSC) technology. Such mufflers eliminate unwanted sound frequencies without the use of restrictive baffles or packing material. An air gap in the tube allow... |
