To some degree or another, yes. But it will also reflect some, and all this depends on the metal and the condition of its surface. Polished aluminum will reflect something like 98% of optical radiation. But if its scuffed up, not as much. Sound is reflected well of metal, but some will penetrate (be carried through) the metal. There are a lot of variables here.

If this situation is looked at like a magnet and steel, there are no metals that attract light, nor is there anything else that will. Light can be "bent" by objects with massive gravity, but it isn't "attracted" by metals.

This will be called transparency or translucency. The amount that a metal can do this will depend on the properties of each metal.
