Not on any realistic scale. The particles in matter move according th the net of all the forces acting on them, including gravity. Sound is a disturbance to the position of those particles, which propagates as a compression wavefront. Gravity affects the steady-state behavior of each particle. Sound just creates a short-term displacement.

The medium for sound is matter. Whatever gravity does to the shape or motion of matter influences sound waves.

Excellent question.
If sound is vibration of matter and gravity affects matter, then it reasons that gravity will affect sound.
I guess.
