An assembly is provided for an aircraft structure. This aircraft structure assembly includes an acoustic panel and a thermal anti-icing system. The acoustic panel includes an exterior surface. The thermal anti-icing system includes a susceptor and a microwave system. The susceptor is configured with the acoustic panel. The microwave system is configured to direct microwaves to the susceptor for melting and/or preventing ice accumulation on the exterior surface.

A sound-absorbing material has an excellent sound absorbing property in a low-frequency range, an intermediate-frequency range, and a high-frequency range. The sound-absorbing material is a laminated sound-absorbing material, which includes at least one first layer, and at least one second layer that differs from the first layer. The first layer has a mean flow pore diameter of 2.0 to 60 μm and an air permeability according to the Frazier method of 30 to 200 cc/cm.sup.2.Math.s. The second layer is a layer including at least one kind selected from a foamed resin, a nonwoven fabric and a woven fabric, has a thickness of 3 to 40 mm, and has a density that is lower than the first layer and is 51 to 150 kg/m.sup.3. The first layer is disposed on a sound incidence side of the second layer.

Broadband acoustic absorbers may be capable providing good absorption performance between 0 and 3,000 Hz, and particularly below 1,000 Hz. Reeds may be incorporated in a single layer, multiple layers, or bundles. Such broadband acoustic absorbers may be applied for acoustic absorption in aircraft, spacecraft, residential and commercial buildings, vehicles, industrial environments, wind tunnels, or any other suitable environment or application where noise reduction is desired.
