Sound-cloaking acoustic metamaterials are on the way

Sound-cloaking acoustic metamaterials are on the way: In the latest development, researchers have shown how creating materials that have meandering paths for sound waves can result in a negative acoustic index of refraction.

More importantly, these materials may actually be manufacturable and work for sound waves in air — the stuff we might consider noise.
