Disclosed is a sound-absorbing component, comprising a housing and sound-absorbing particles filled in the housing. An antistatic material is added to the materials from which the housing is made, or the antistatic material is coated on the surface of the housing. Also disclosed is a speaker module applying the sound-absorbing component. The sound-absorbing component of the present invention greatly increases the fill rate of the sound-absorbing particles in the housing, thus allowing the space of the rear acoustic cavity of the speaker module applying the sound-absorbing component to be fully utilized, and allowing the sound-absorbing particles to fully exert the effects thereof in improving the acoustic properties of the speaker module.
