Abstract
An acoustic core has a plurality of cell walls formed of an additive-manufacturing material and a resonant space defined by the plurality of cell walls. At least some of the resonant cells have sound-attenuating protuberances formed of an excess amount of the additive-manufacturing material having been intentionally introduced to the cell walls and protruding into the resonant space with a semi-random orientation and/or size.
