Correct answer

  • Bdisminuye o silencia las explosiones producidas en el interior del motor.reduces or silences the noise of the explosions produced inside the engine.
Explanation

The silencer is an essential part of the vehicle's exhaust system, and its main job is to reduce the noise made by the engine's exhaust gases as they leave the combustion system. While the engine is running, small explosions take place in the cylinders, producing high-pressure gases that make a loud noise when they are expelled. The silencer reduces the impact of that noise, so the vehicle runs more quietly.
