the resonance sound reduction device is further configured to reduce amplitudes at anti-nodes of a waveform of the air vibration,
the resonance sound reduction device comprises a combination of a plurality of differently shaped portions, and
at least two of the differently shaped portions are configured to have different heights in a direction toward the blade.

2. The machining device according to claim 1 , wherein the resonance sound reduction device comprises at least one convex portion.

3. The machining device according to claim 2 , wherein the resonance sound reduction device comprises at least one linear projection.

4. The machining device according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the differently shaped portions are arranged to cross each other.

5. The machining device according to claim 4 , wherein the at least two of the differently shaped portions are arranged to cross orthogonally each other.

6. The machining device according to claim 1 , further comprising a spindle rotatably driven by the electric motor, wherein:
the blade is attached to the spindle, so that the blade rotates about an axis of the spindle;
the differently shaped portions include a front side portion and a rear side portion position on a front side and a rear side, respectively, with respect to the spindle axis.

7. A machining device comprising:
