Helmholtz resonators serve as transducers, amplifiers, and sound controllers.

Evidence

The principle of Helmholtz resonance takes different shapes. The body of the violin or the guitar is a good example where the air hole(s) and the body result in the lowest resonance frequency of the instrument. A bass-reflex type of loudspeaker enclosure adds a desired boost to the low-frequency response of the loudspeaker (see Section 4.1.1). The interior of a car cabin, when a window is slightly opened while driving fast, may strongly amplify turbulent noise at low or very low (infrasound) frequencies. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 160 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
