Disclosed herein are a method and device for cloaking an acoustic wave. A method for cloaking an acoustic wave according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: obtaining a target characteristic of a meta-material based on a correlation between an acoustic propagation mathematical model predetermined for the propagation of an acoustic wave and an electromagnetic wave mathematical model predetermined for an electromagnetic wave; arranging scattering media having a predetermined media density to have spatial periodicity so that the obtained target characteristic is achieved; and blocking a region including a target object from an acoustic wave by disposing the meta-material including the scattering media arranged to have spatial periodicity, to surround the region.
