An amplification device (1) for amplifying suction noise of a vehicle is disclosed herein. An embodiment of the amplification device (1) comprises an intake duct (12), a connecting pipe (2), an elastic membrane member (8) and a contact member (10). The intake duct (12) feeds air into an engine inlet port. A connecting pipe (2) is connected to an interior of the intake duct (12). The elastic membrane member (8) blocks a passageway inside of the contacting pipe. The contact member (10) is connected to the connecting pipe (2) and includes at least one portion that is adapted to selectively contact a surface of the elastic membrane member (8) that faces the intake duct (12).
