Let $K$ be a field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $G$ act on the rational function field $K(x(g):g\in G)$ by $K$ automorphisms defined by $g\cdot x(h)=x(gh)$ for any $g,h\in G$. Denote by $K(G)$ the fixed field $K(x(g):g\in G)^G$. Noether's problem then asks whether $K(G)$ is rational over $K$. In [M. Kang, Noether's problem for metacyclic $p$-groups, Adv. Math. 203(2005), 554-567], Kang proves the rationality of $K(G)$ over $K$ if $G$ is any metacyclic $p$-group and $K$ is any field containing enough roots of unity. In this paper, we give a positive answer to the Noether's problem for all central group extensions of the general metacyclic $p$-group, provided that $K$ is infinite and it contains sufficient roots of unity.
