They experience a form of friction called drag.
A falling object no longer accelerates, due to friction in the atmosphere, when the friction buildup equals gravity's acceleration. This is called it's terminal velocity.

Air Resistance: a form of friction.

To be very technical and precise, the answer consists of two parts: 1). No. 2). Outside of laboratory conditions, there can be no free-falling objects on Earth. "Free falling" means that there is no other force on the object except the gravitational one, so there's no friction acting on it. But this situation is impossible on Earth, because anything that falls is falling through air, so it does have friction acting on it ... called "air resistance" ... and it's not free falling.
Aerodynamic drag force, equal to: velocity2 * objects drag coefficient
efficency is reduced by friction.
Air resistance causes friction and slows an object.
