How about expanded or perforated metal out of the McNicholas catalog with black mineral wool/ acoustic insulation blankets on top?
You can pick the acoustic blankets out of a catalog and they are UL listed and should be Class A Fire and Smoke spread. I recently used some with a Hunter Douglas ceiling system, but they are available by themselves. As for the "finish", I can't imagine much cheaper or more rustic looking than expanded steel or aluminum. Throw the steel outside and spray it down with some salt and vinegar (mmm potato chips) and let it get a little rusty.
A common problem: decent-looking sound absorbing material between exposed industrial trusses
