A resonator ( 1 ) has at least first and second annular chambers ( 2, 3, 17 ) arranged between inlet and outlet pieces ( 22, 21 ). An inner pipe ( 4 ) extends between the inlet piece ( 22 ) and the outlet piece ( 21 ) and has wall holes ( 23 ) that connect to the annular chambers ( 2, 3, 17 ). The first annular chamber ( 2 ) has a U-shaped circumferential wall ( 6 ) coaxial to the resonator longitudinal axis ( 5 ) and transitions at both ends to engage the inner pipe ( 4 ). The second annular chamber ( 3 ) has an L-shaped circumferential wall ( 12 ) coaxial to the resonator longitudinal axis ( 5 ). An end of the L-shaped circumferential wall remote from the first annular chamber ( 2 ) transitions into a cylindrical end piece ( 13 ), and an opposite end of the L-shaped circumferential wall lies on part of the outer wall ( 9 ) of the first annular chamber ( 2 ) extending parallel to the resonator longitudinal axis ( 5 ).
