Specifically I’m wondering about electronics that play back short noises or songs, like baby toys. Why would the sounds slow down or get distorted when the batteries get low?

This is a trope from the days of mechanical recordings, tapes and phonographs and such, where slowing down the motor slows down the playback.
It doesn’t work that way for modern digital audio, but it still gets used in TV shows and movies because it’s funny.
