We study the tideless traversable wormholes in the f(R) gravity metric formalism. First we consider three shape functions of wormholes and study their viabilities and structures. The connection between the f(R) gravity model and wormhole shape function has been studied and the dependency of the f(R) gravity model with the shape function is shown. We also obtain a wormhole solution in the f(R) gravity Starobinsky model surrounded by a cloud of strings. In this case, the wormhole shape function depends on both the Starobinsky model parameter and the cloud of strings parameter. The structure and height of the wormhole is highly affected by the cloud of strings parameter, while it is less sensitive to the Starobinsky model parameter. The energy conditions have been studied and we found the ranges of the null energy condition violation for all wormhole structures. The quasinormal modes from these wormhole structures for the scalar and Dirac perturbations are studied using higher order WKB approximation methods. The quasinormal modes for the toy shape functions depend highly on the model parameters. In case of the Starobinsky model's wormhole the quasinormal frequencies and the damping rate increase with an increase in the Starobinsky model parameter in scalar perturbation. Whereas in Dirac perturbation, with an increase in the Starobinsky model parameter the quasinormal frequencies decrease and the damping rate increases. The cloud of strings parameter also impacts prominently and differently the quasinormal modes from the wormhole in the Starobinsky model.
