Disclosed is a muffler in which a helicoil member is installed in each conduit, through which refrigerant gas flows from or into an expansion chamber during reciprocating movements of a piston in a cylinder. The helicoil member has diverse twisted angles and diverse twisted shapes, and serves to divide pulsation of noise, generated during the reciprocating movements of the piston, into pulsation of different phases, and then to merge the divided pulsation together, while allowing the refrigerant gas to have the form of a vortex flow. As pulsation of noise generated during an operation of sucking refrigerant gas pass along different travel paths defined by the helicoil member, a mutual interference occurs between the pulsation respectively emerging from the travel paths of the helicoil member. Therefore, an increased offset effect for the pulsation of noise is obtained, which maximizes a noise attenuation effect. It is also possible to prevent refrigerant gas from flowing reversal due to a counter pressure gradient occurring during the reciprocating movements of the piston. Accordingly, enhanced compressor efficiency is obtained.
