Weyl-like magnon excitations in ordered magnets have attracted significant recent attention. Despite of the tantalizing physics and application prospects, the experimental observation of Weyl magnons is still challenging owing to their extraordinarily high frequency that is not accessible to the microstrip antenna technique. Here we predict gigahertz Weyl excitations in the collective dynamics of dipolar-coupled magnetic vortices arranged in a three-dimensional stacked honeycomb lattice. It is found that the inversion symmetry breaking leads to the emergence of the type-II Weyl semimetal (WSM) state with tilted dispersion. We derive the full phase diagram of the vortex arrays that support WSMs with both single and double pairs of Weyl nodes, and the topological insulator phase. We observe robust arc surface states in a dual-segment fashion due to the tilted nature of type-II WSMs. Our findings uncover the low-frequency WSM phase in magnetic texture based crystals that are indispensable for future Weyltronic applications.
