A bimodal tuned vibration absorber includes a first beam arranged lengthwise in a longitudinal direction. The first beam has an attachment mechanism adapted for mechanically coupling the first beam to a structure. A second beam is arranged lengthwise in a transverse direction, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The second beam is mechanically coupled to a first end of the first beam via a first connector. A third beam is arranged lengthwise in the transverse direction and is mechanically coupled to a second end of the first beam, opposite the first end, via a second connector. A two-mode tuned vibration absorber includes a first beam aligned longitudinally with a second beam. A connector is aligned longitudinally and disposed between the first beam and the second beam for mechanically coupling the first beam with the second beam. The connector is adapted for enhancing the bending mode of the two-mode tuned vibration absorber.
