Abstract
An acoustic structure (e.g. an acoustic tuning panel) includes a plurality of boards and a plurality of resonance tubes with a plurality of openings. The openings are formed at different positions on the side faces of the resonance tubes. One resonance tube may be interposed in and supported by a pair of boards, or one board may be interposed in and supported by a pair of resonance tubes. The resonance tubes are mutually movable in the axial direction so as to independently adjust the opening area of the opening of the resonance tube. With this behavior, it is possible to adjust a ratio of the opening area of the resonance tube to the sectional area of the internal cavity of the resonance tube, thus adjusting the bandwidth of a band causing a sound-absorbing effect and a sound-scattering effect in an acoustic space (e.g. a sound chamber).
