A resonator is a device or part that vibrates (or oscillates) with waves. Oscillation is the periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure as seen, for example, in a swinging pendulum. ...
A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space, often transferring energy. ...
Electromagnetic
A distributed parameter resonator of the distributed network type, has the capacitance, inductance and resistance which cannot be isolated into separate lumped capacitors, inductors, or resistors. The time factor of propagation of wave energy in the network is appreciable. Resonators can be of the dielectric type or magnetic type. A hollow device that uses resonance to amplify a wave is called a "cavity resonator". To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...
Automobiles A resonator is one part in exhaust systems that works with the muffler to reduce noise, by making sound waves "cancel each other out"[1]. The "exhaust note" is an important feature for many vehicle owners, so both the original manufacturers and the after-market suppliers use the resonator to enhance the sound in some way - for example, so-called "Ricers" are notorious for using resonators which aim to give an exhaust note comparable to that of a V8. An exhaust system conveys burnt gases from an internal combustion engine and typically includes a collection of pipes. ...
A muffler (USA name) or silencer (name in the United Kingdom and other areas) is a device for reducing the amount of noise emitted by a machine such as an internal combustion engine or a gun. ...
Aftermarket is an umbrella term for the collective network of vendors who design and sell vehicular components that are intended to replace the stock manufacturers parts in order to alter the appearance or performance of the vehicle. ...

Musical instruments Most musical instruments include resonators for the sound of the instrument. In string instruments this is the body of the instrument. In many keyboard percussion instruments, below the centre of each note is a tube, which is a cavity resonator, that is referred to simply as the resonator. The length of the tube varies according to the pitch of the note, with higher notes having shorter resonators. The tube is open at the top end and closed at the bottom end, creating a column of air which resonates when the note is struck. This adds depth and volume to the note. A musical instrument is a device constructed or modified with the purpose of making music. ...
The following instruments are collectively known as tuned percussion or keyboard percussion, or sometimes, mallet percussion. ...

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge (shown twisting) in Washington collapsed spectacularly, under moderate wind, in part because of resonance. ...
In Camille Saint-Saëns Danse Macabre, a skeleton's dance is depicted by a xylophone. Since the instrument in Saint-Saëns' day did not have resonators, it is often performed with resonators removed (or covered). This makes sound of the instrument more brittle and bone-like. The vibrato effect of a vibraphone is obtained by a mechanism which opens and shuts the resonators. Also, by itself, it may be referring to the resonator guitar, dobro. Charles Camille Saint-Saëns (IPA: ) (9 October 1835–16 December 1921) was a French composer and performer, best known for his orchestral work The Carnival of the Animals. ...
