UKE= silencer section
USAE= muffler section

I wrote \"exhaust\" above, it can of course be an inlet system, as in your case.

Zuluftschalldämpfer= air intake silencer (muffler). Or supply air silencer.

Supply air sound attenuator

Length of (sound-)attenuating section

Schalldaempfung = sound attenuation (Bucksch - Woerterbuch fuer Architektur...)

"Sound-insulating section" also works.
