contents <p>Noise is an environmental factor that negatively affects the health of living organisms and must therefore be mitigated. One effective approach to noise reduction is the use of passive materials for sound absorption. Moreover, with the increasing use of 3D printing technology, it is now possible to produce complex material structures for noise reduction that cannot be manufactured using conventional manufacturing techniques. This study investigates the sound absorption performance of novel 3D-printed concentric tubular structures made of acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) with intermediate lattice inserts. The sound absorption properties of these structures were experimentally evaluated in the frequency range of 200–1600 Hz using a two-microphone acoustic impedance tube. Various factors influencing sound absorption properties were investigated, including the number of concentric tubes, sample height, strut diameter, and back air cavity thickness. The experimental results show that the sound absorption performance depends significantly on the design parameters of the proposed system. The average sound absorption coefficient (<span class="html-italic">α<sub>avg</sub></span>) increased with the number of concentric tubes and reached a maximum value of 0.264 for the configuration with five tubes. The highest sound absorption peak (<span class="html-italic">α<sub>max</sub></span> = 0.623) was achieved for the structure with two concentric tubes, a strut diameter of 3 mm, a height of 30 mm, and a back air cavity of 10 mm at a frequency of approximately 1548 Hz. Furthermore, increasing the strut diameter and sample height generally improved sound absorption performance, while the presence of a back air cavity significantly shifted the absorption peak toward lower frequencies, thereby enhancing low-frequency sound absorption.</p>
