We report an ultrathin and durable open metamaterial capable of both fluid passage and noise insulation at low frequencies. The proposed open metamaterial, denoted as the perforated and constrained acoustic metamaterial (PCAM), contains a large orifice in each unit cell. An impedance-based model was established to investigate the working mechanism and acoustic performances of the PCAM and was then verified by measurements in a sound impedance tube. With only a thickness of 1.5 mm (0.19% of wavelength), a PCAM sample exhibits a sound transmission loss of 20 dB at 430 Hz. This high-efficiency soundproof feature under the ventilation condition is attributed to the interferences of the two wave fields between the orifice area and the plate area in the near-field. The PCAM may have potential applications in limited spaces requiring high-efficiency ventilation and long-time service. Published under license by AIP Publishing.
