In this study, the performance of Helmholtz resonators with curved tapered neck extensions was investigated through numerical and experimental methods. A numerical parametric analysis was carried out using the Finite Element Method with COMSOL, while experimental validation was conducted using a two-microphone acoustic impedance tube. The analysis evaluated the effects of neck outlet/inlet diameter ratio, neck length, and diameter of the neck on the absorption coefficients and resonance frequency of the resonators. Results revealed that a tapered curved embedded neck configuration led to a lower absorption frequency as the outlet/inlet ratio increased trend to convergent neck geometry. Furthermore, a longer effective neck length and smaller neck diameter enhanced low-frequency noise absorption. Experimental validation with four 3D-printed samples confirmed these trends.
