An acoustic damping device is provided that includes a resonating tube defining a resonating cavity with a predetermined characteristic length and a tube end defining a cavity opening, as well as a case configured to reversibly secure the tube end in fluidic communication with a fluid volume enclosed by a liner. The cavity opening is connected with the resonating cavity. The case includes a vented ferrule adpressed over a perforated region of the liner. The vented ferrule defines a ferrule opening that is aligned with the perforated region of the liner and the cavity opening to form the fluidic communication between the fluid volume and the resonating cavity.
