abstract = "The sound of footsteps generated in corridors propagates into surrounding spaces, sometimes becoming a problem of noise pollution. Therefore, the aim of this study is to reduce footstep noise by incorporating sound absorption mechanisms into the baseboard of corridors. We focus on the
acoustic metasurface that has gained significant attention in recent years in order to absorb a relatively wide range of frequencies. In this study, we proposed acoustic metasurface type baseboards by utilizing multiple resonators with different resonance frequencies. The proposed models feature
parallel arrangement of multiple resonators with straight or inclined slits. The absorption performance of these models is evaluated through theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, and experiments. Results suggest that acoustic metasurface type baseboards is found to be able to absorb
the dominant frequencies in the sound of footsteps. In addition, increasing the number of resonators and incorporating slanted perforations in the neck contribute to improved absorption performance. Furthermore, the possibility of thinning the models through slanted perforations is also suggested.",
