Noise pollution has been aptly described as one of the modern plagues. [1] Due to many adverse health effects of loud environments, ranging from sleep disturbances to cardiovascular diseases, reducing the exposure of humans to excess noise is essential to the public health of large populations living in the cities. Regarding sound absorption materials, the optimal choice depends on the intended sound frequency range; solutions of damping high-frequency sound waves rely on totally different absorption mechanism than the solutions for very low-frequency noise. Indoors, the most commonly used sound absorption materials are porous by nature due to their ability to efficiently absorb sound at mid to high frequencies with relatively thin layers. Common porous absorption materials in the market, targeting to over 90% absorption above 350 Hz, are glass and mineral wools and acoustic foams made, e.g., from melamine or polyurethane. Here, we review the acoustic properties of aerogels and demonstrate their high potential to challenge and exceed the absorption properties of the current market standards, whether we talk about the performance in
