A dual-frequency vibration-reduction apparatus includes a beam having a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. An attachment mechanism mechanically couples a portion of the beam to a structure. One or more masses are attached to the beam such that the apparatus vibrates bi-modally at a primary frequency and a secondary frequency for reducing vibrations of the structure at the primary frequency and the secondary frequency. A first mode may be a bending mode of the apparatus, while a second mode is a torsion mode. The vibration reduction apparatus may be tuned such that the primary frequency substantially matches a blade-pass frequency of a propeller-driven aircraft and the secondary frequency substantially matches a harmonic of the blade-pass frequency. The vibration reduction apparatus includes a mounting mechanism for mounting to any structure requiring low-frequency vibration attenuation.
