Acoustic metamaterials, sometimes referred to as sonic or phononic crystals, are architected materials designed to manipulate sound waves or phonons in gases, liquids, and solids. By tailoring effective parameters such as bulk modulus (β), density (ρ), and in some cases chirality, they can be engineered to transmit, trap, or attenuate waves at selected frequencies, functioning as acoustic resonators when local resonances dominate.
