Advances in topological acoustics are leading to potential development for noise attenuation, ultrasonic imaging, sound manipulation, and information delivering, etc. Recently, ideas and methodologies from condensed-matter physics, such as the quantum Hall effect (QHE), the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE), and the quantum valley Hall effect (QVHE), combined with configurations of sonic crystals and metamaterials, have been investigated in manipulating acoustic transmissions in the form of one-way edge modes and defect-immune protected acoustics. However, many related studies are still in their infancy and mostly rely on bulky, noisy, overly complicated, untunable and narrow-band-effective facilities, and so it is highly desirable …
