Metahouse: noise-insulating chamber based on periodic structures

Abstract
Noise pollution remains a challenging problem requiring the development of novel systems for noise insulation. Extensive work in the field of acoustic metamaterials has led to occurrence of various ventilated structures which, however, are usually demonstrated for rather narrow regions of the audible spectrum. In this work, we further extend the idea of metamaterial-based systems developing a concept of a metahouse chamber representing a ventilated structure for broadband noise insulation. Broad stop bands originate from strong coupling between pairs of Helmholtz resonators constituting the structure. We demonstrate numerically and experimentally the averaged transmission -18 dB within the spectral range from 1500 to 16500 Hz. The sparseness of the structure together with the possibility to use optically transparent materials suggest that the chamber may be also characterized by partial optical transparency depending on the mutual position of structural elements. The obtained results are promising for development of novel noise-insulating structures advancing urban science.
