What does this part do?

In an effort to discover why my intake air temps are sometimes reading more than 30 degrees above ambient, I tore apart my intake system.

I even dug into the passenger fender well. Under the airbox, inside the fender well, behind the headlight I found another "airbox". The air intake starts in the fender well directly above the tire and has one branch that goes to this second box and the other penetrates the fender and goes to the main airbox.

The second box is empty and has a small hole in the bottom. I believe the hole is there to allow any water that gets in there to drain out.

On the side of the box it says "Resonator" then "Main". Is this meant to make the intake quieter and can it somehow be the source of my fluctuating intake temps?
