The invention relates to a micro-perforated plate with a resonant sound absorption structure. The micro-perforated plate with the resonant sound absorption structure is characterized by comprising a rigid wall, a micro-perforated plate and a cavity which is formed between the rigid wall and the micro-perforated plate, wherein the two ends of the rigid wall are connected with the two ends of the micro-perforated plate through a flexible or elastic material respectively. In the sound wave absorption process of the micro-perforated plate with the resonant sound absorption structure, the distancebetween the micro-perforated plate and the rigid wall can be automatically adjusted and a semi-active resonant sound absorption structure is formed in the cavity between the micro-perforated plate and the rigid wall along with the variation of sound wave frequency and the influence of vibrating air flow. Therefore, the micro-perforated plate with the resonant sound absorption structure has highersound absorption performance in a wider frequency range, the sound absorption frequency band of the micro-perforated plate with the resonant sound absorption structure is greatly expanded, and the defect of a narrower sound absorption frequency band of a sound absorber of the micro-perforated plate with a rigid structure can be overcome. The micro-perforated plate with the resonant sound absorption structure can be widely used for the sound absorber, mufflers and various sound absorption and insulation structures to treat a noise environment caused by air power noise.
