Abstract
An air cleaner for an internal combustion engine is arranged to reduce intake noise. The air cleaner includes an air cleaner element for cleaning an intake air, and an elastic member for reducing intake noise by utilizing an inside space of the air cleaner. An inside space of the elastic member is in communication with the inside space of the air cleaner through a communication passage. Preferably, a surrounding space formed between the elastic member and a case portion for receiving the elastic member is opened to the outside.
