1. A sound barrier comprising a substantially periodic array of structures disposed in a first medium having a first density, said structures being made of a second medium having a second density different from said first density, wherein one of said first and second media is a porous medium other than a porous metal, said porous medium having pores and a porosity of at least 0.02, and wherein the other of said first and second media is a viscoelastic or elastic medium. 2. The sound barrier of claim 1, wherein said porous medium is a multi-phase material that comprises a solid matrix material comprising vacuum-or fluid-containing pores. 3. The sound barrier of claim 2, wherein said pores are at least partially filled with at least one gas. 4. The sound barrier of claim 3, wherein said gas is selected from air, water vapor, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and combinations thereof. 5. The sound barrier of claim 2, wherein said solid matrix material comprises a viscoelastic or elastic material or a combination thereof. 6. The sound barrier of claim 5, wherein said viscoelastic or elastic material exhibits a steady shear creep compliance of less than 10−6 Pa−1. 7. The sound barrier of claim 5, wherein said solid matrix material is selected from inorganic materials; cured, glassy, or crystalline polymer resins; crosslinked elastomers; thermoplastic polymers; and combinations thereof. 8. The sound barrier of claim 1, wherein said porous medium is selected from polymer foams, polymeric nonwoven materials, porous silica materials, porous composite materials, and combinations thereof. 9. The sound barrier of claim 1, wherein said porous medium has a porosity of 0.02 to 0.65. 10. The sound barrier of claim 1, wherein said viscoelastic or elastic medium has a porosity of less than 0.02. 11. The sound barrier of claim 1, wherein said other of said first and second media is a viscoelastic medium. 12. The sound barrier of claim 1, wherein said viscoelastic medium is selected from viscoelastic solids, viscoelastic liquids, and combinations thereof. 13. The sound barrier of claim 12, wherein said viscoelastic solids and said viscoelastic liquids are selected from rubbery polymer compositions and combinations thereof. 14. The sound barrier of claim 1, wherein said other of said first and second media is an elastic medium. 15. The sound barrier of claim 1, wherein said substantially periodic array of structures is a one-dimensional array in the form of a multi-layer structure comprising alternating layers of said first and second media. 16. The sound barrier of claim 15, wherein said multi-layer structure comprises alternating layers of a porous medium and an elastic medium, said porous medium being selected from polymer foams, polymeric nonwoven materials, porous silica materials, porous composite materials, and combinations thereof, and said elastic medium being selected from metals, metal alloys, glassy polymers, composite materials, and combinations thereof. 17. The sound barrier of claim 16, wherein said porous medium is selected from closed-cell polymer foams, polymeric nonwoven materials, porous silica materials, and combinations thereof; and said elastic medium is selected from copper, aluminum, copper alloys, aluminum alloys, epoxy resins, and combinations thereof. 18. The sound barrier of claim 15, wherein said multi-layer structure comprises from 3 to 20 alternating layers of a porous material having a layer thickness of 5 mm to 10 mm and an elastic material having a layer thickness of 0.025 to 1 mm, said multi-layer structure having dimensions in the range of 5 mm to 100 mm. 19. The sound barrier of claim 1, wherein said sound barrier provides a transmission loss that is greater than or equal to 20 dB across the range of 800 Hz to 1500 Hz and has all dimensions less than or equal to 20 cm in size. 20. A process for preparing a sound barrier comprising (a) providing a first medium having a first density; (b) providing a second medium having a second density that is different from said first density; and (c) forming a substantially periodic array of structures disposed in said first medium, said structures being made of said second medium; wherein one of said first and second media is a porous medium other than a porous metal, said porous medium having pores and a porosity of at least 0.02, and wherein the other of said first and second media is a viscoelastic or elastic medium.
