To achieve a compact design for low frequency tunable sound absorption, a membrane sound absorber (MSA) with nonlinear magnetic field is proposed in this paper. By employing a central iron platelet on the membrane, the MSA can be easily tuned by introducing a magnet at a distance from the platelet that can be adjusted. To investigate the low frequency properties of MSA with different magnets and iron-platelets, a series of impedance tube experiments are conducted in detail. The sample absorber has a rear cavity depth of 30 mm, three different magnets were used inside, tested results real that using a strong magnetic field can help broaden the frequency tuning range. Then, results from the MSA with five different sizes of iron plates tuned by one magnet show that the low-frequency tuning range moves to lower with the increase of the area of iron plates.
