The present invention provides an air intake noise reducing device, an internal combustion engine fitted with the air intake noise reducing device and a structure for fitting the air intake noise reducing device to the internal combustion engine. The air intake noise reducing device comprises a gasket (2) comprising a ring member (2a) held by connecting surfaces of an air intake passage (100) and protrusion holding portions (2b) extending from the ring member (2a) toward a center of the air intake passage (100); and a net member (3) comprising a net (3a) for rectifying intake air and connecting protrusions (3b) extending outward from the net (3). The connecting protrusions (3b) are held in the protruding holding portions (2b) such that the ring member (3) is firmly secured to the gasket (3). The air intake noise reducing device constituted by in the above-mentioned manner can reduce assembly man-hours without deteriorating a sealing property of the air passage.

What is claimed is: 1. An air intake noise reducing device comprising: a seal member comprising a ring member held by connecting surfaces of an air intake passage and protrusion holding portions extending from said ring member toward a center of said air intake passage; and an air intake noise reducing member comprising a net for rectifying intake air and connecting protrusions extending outward from said net, wherein: said connecting protrusions are held in said protruding holding portions such that said air intake noise reducing member is firmly secured to said seal member. 2. The air intake noise reducing device according to claim 1, wherein: said connecting protrusion is held within said protrusion holding portion such that a tip end of said connecting protrusion does not protrude into said ring member. 3. The air intake noise reducing device according to claim 1, wherein: said connecting protrusion has a fitting portion for being fitted to said protrusion holding portion. 4. The air intake noise reducing device according to claim 3, wherein: said fitting portion is formed in a small holed shape and/or in a wedge shape. 5. The air intake noise reducing device according to claim 1, wherein: said protrusion holding portion has positioning members for positioning the air intake noise reducing device to the air intake passage. 6. An internal combustion engine comprising: the air intake noise reducing devices according to claim 1; and an air intake passage comprising a seal holding groove for holding said ring member of said air intake noise reducing device and protrusion holding recesses for holding said protrusion holding portions. 7. A fitting structure formed in an air intake passage of an internal combustion engine, wherein: the air intake noise reducing devices according to claim 1 is arranged downstream and in the vicinity of a throttle valve in said air intake passage; protrusion holding recesses are formed on connecting surfaces of said air intake passage; and said air intake noise reducing device is fitted to said air intake passage such that protrusion holding portions of said air intake noise reducing device are held by said protrusion holding recesses.
