  • Patent number: 7506626
    Abstract: An amplification device for amplifying suction noise of a vehicle is disclosed herein. An embodiment of the amplification device comprises an intake duct, a connecting pipe, an elastic membrane member and a contact member. The intake duct feeds air into an engine inlet port. A connecting pipe is connected to an interior of the intake duct. The elastic membrane member blocks a passageway inside of the contacting pipe. The contact member is connected to the connecting pipe and includes at least one portion that is adapted to selectively contact a surface of the elastic membrane member that faces the intake duct.
