The intake noise, a major source of vehicle noises, has rapidly become a noticeable, and has been studied to reduce the level. Traditionally, the intake system has been developed through the road test and the experiment using a engine dynamo, namely, the trial and error process. This approach require very high cost and long time consuming to develop the system. In this study, the simulator which had a speaker in the cylinder head was presented. It was easy to analyze the acoustic characteristic of the intake system in laboratory environment. This study presented a improvement to reduce the level of the intake noise using the Transfer Matrix Method and NIT/SYSNOISE, FE analysis commercial software. It was to select optimum position of a resonator and verified by the simulator. This simulator can be used early in the design stage of development of the intake system.
