  Using numerical methods, we investigate the absorption properties of a family
of nonsingular solutions {which arise in different metric-affine theories, such
as quadratic and Born-Infeld gravity.} These solutions continuously interpolate
between Schwarzschild black holes and naked solitons with wormhole topology.
The resulting spectrum is characterized by a series of quasibound states
excitations, associated with the existence of a stable photonsphere.
