A reticulated resonator includes: a reticulated substrate that includes: a substrate frame; and a phononic structure in mechanical communication with the substrate frame and including a plurality of unit members arranged in a two-dimensional array; and a membrane disposed on the reticulated substrate. A process for producing a membrane frequency includes: providing a reticulated resonator including: a substrate frame; a phononic structure including: a first link connected to the substrate frame; a plurality of unit members arranged in a two-dimensional array and connected to the first link and in mechanical communication with the substrate frame through the first link; and a second link connected to the unit members; a membrane frame connected to the second link and in mechanical communication with the unit members through the second link; and a membrane disposed on the membrane and in mechanical communication with the substrate frame through the membrane frame and the unit members; subjecting the membrane to an excitation frequency; receiving, by the membrane, the excitation frequency; and producing, by the membrane, a membrane mode including a membrane frequency in response to receiving the excitation frequency.
