Noise reducing device (7)

I believe the answer is:

muffler

(Other definitions for muffler that I've seen before include "Kind of scarf" , "Thick scarf - silencer (US)" , "Warming garment" , "Wrap or scarf worn round the neck" , "Sound deadener" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
