Between \(\sqrt{11}\) and \(\sqrt{17}\), there are an infinite number of irrational numbers.

Both \(\sqrt{11}\) and \(\sqrt{17}\) are irrational numbers, and within any interval on the real number line, there are infinitely many irrational numbers. Therefore, the correct response is:

an infinite number.
