Fittingly for a film about a superhero with enhanced hearing, the music is hugely prominent in the film. The soundtrack is also one of the best collections of Nu Metal ever assembled:
- Drowning Pool and Rob Zombie's "Man Without Fear" was written especially for the film (although the title being Daredevil's Red Baron probably gave it away) and was Drowning Pool's first song to be released following the death of original frontman Dave Williams in 2002.
- "Right Before Your Eyes" by Hoobastank playing as a young blinded Matt is comforted by his father, and later as he explores his superpowers in the city and defeats the bullies tormenting him from earlier.
- Fuel's "Won't Back Down" has a memorable chorus and hardcore riff and is heard in the end credits.
- Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life
" featuring Paul McCoy was heard during Elektra's training session and during the end of the trailers. It has a combination of piano and heavy metal with two great singing voices.
- Bullseye is introduced with House of Pain's "Top o' the Morning To Ya", a hard-hitting hip-hop number with lyrics fitting him as a glove, being proud of his Irish roots and of loving himself some bloodshed.
- Seether's "Hang On" plays in-universe as Matt blasts it on his sound-system after waking up from his sensory deprivation tank. It opens with a memorable guitar riff that segues brilliantly into a hard-hitting chorus, perfectly setting the tone for the story of a doggedly determined urban vigilante.
