The black rubber/bitumen(?) mat that was glued to the underside of my sink bowl has dried out and fallen off (now brittle and in bits). Any suggestions for a replacement material?

Sink Sound deadening?

You can buy similar sheet material from car pimping shops, intended for use to line door skins etc.
Alternatively, just glue (Evostik) some rubber sheet.
You could just buy a tin of Bitumastic and 'clart' it all over the underside of the sink.
How about old carpet tiles?
Why bother, nobody sleeps under the sink.

True, but kitchen noises are bad enough for those of us with sensitive hearing even without the noise from an undeadened metal sink.

An offcut of flashband might do.
A car paint/bodywork supplier - self adhesive ones are fitted inside car doors etc for the same reasons. However, they tend to come in packs and aren't cheap. You might try a local body repair shop for a single one.
Whatever turns you on.

Spray it with expanding foam of the gap filling variety

That's what Spouse would do - he uses it for many applications.
You have to be careful and apply it sparingly though, it can easily fill a large space.
