sound is just a specific way matter moves. if the matter is pulled down, the sound being carried by the matter is too. if the source of the sound is pulled down, the sound it emits gets distorted similar to how the sound of a car distorts when it drives past you

and gravity affects light. when light passes close to a black hole or very large star, astronomers notice it bend through what they call a gravity lens
