Helmholtz resonator is used to reduce noise of the narrow frequency band. It has high transmission loss at its resonance frequency. The silencer that combines many resonators could control broadband noise at low frequency. To convey this rather simple idea, serial and parallel arrangement of resonators have been tested to obtain high transmission loss characteristics in the band of which are selects. Theoretical and experimental results explain these characteristics in the absence of mean flow. The change of acoustic characteristics by the resonance frequencies and resonators arrangement are explained by using the equivalent Impedance analysis that is defined in this paper. It shows that the transmission loss has a maximum value when the separation distance between each resonator is λ/4 of its wavelength.
