  The quasinormal modes for a scalar field in the background spacetime
corresponding to a black hole, with a cloud of strings, in
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, and the tensor quasinormal modes corresponding
to perturbations in such spacetime, were both calculated using the WKB
approximation. In the obtained results we emphasize the role played by the
parameter associated with the string cloud, comparing them with the results
already obtained for the Boulware-Deser metric. We also study how the
Gauss-Bonnet correction to general relativity affects the results for the
quasinormal modes, comparing them with the same background in general
relativity.
