Light is, sound is not.
Light is an actual, physical thing - a photon, or 'packet of light' - which, although is massless, has energy and momentum. These are the true factors which influence gravitational fields - energy and momentum - not mass. Mass can be equated into its energy form by using E=mc2 , thus proving it has the requirements for a gravitational pull.
Sound is a wave of pressure which travels through a medium. It is not a physical thing, it simply propagates through something as a vibration. Sound - the vibration itself - is not affected by gravity, but whatever it is travelling through will be, which can in turn pull the propagating sound waves towards the centre of gravity, and thus giving the illusion that the sound itself is affected by the gravitational pull.

Is a beam of light affected by gravity?
Yes.
Do tendrils respond to light touch or sound?
touch ( sound isn't one, it's light, touch and gravity)
Does a Neutrino affected by Gravity?
Yes. I suppose it would be hard to verify through experiment, but there is no specific reason why it shouldn't - basically, it has mass. Even light is affected by gravity.
How black hole absorb light?
Light is affected by gravity, if the gravity is immense. In a black hole, the gravity is so immense that light cannot escape from it, hence it cannot be seen - whcih is why it's called a "black hole".
What objects in the universe are effected by gravity?
Everything can be affected by gravity, it just needs to be close enough. Even light can be affected by gravity! But I'm not much of a science person, so if you want a more detailed answer, better ask an expert ^^
Does energy exist without gravity?
Of course,energy forms like Light,sound do not have any connection with gravity.
What affected by gravity the weight or the mass?
The mass is basically NOT affected by gravity. The weight IS affected, and it is equal to mass x gravity.
Which type of measurement is affected by gravity?
The measurement of weight is affected by gravity.
What types of erosion are affected by gravity?
Wind and water erosion are affected by gravity.
Is mass affected by gravity on earth and other planets?
No. Weight is affected by gravity.
Is length affected by gravity?
No, only weight is affected by gravity: attraction, force, acceleration.
Optical lever uses a light beam as a pointer to measure small deflectionsExplain the advantage of this?
It is massless and it is not affected by gravity.
