Paint doesn't really react with anything except air. Some paints are called non-convertible coatings and their solvents simply evaporate leaving pigments on the base material. Others are called convertible coatings. They react with oxygen and themselves on exposure to air, forming the familiar 'skin' which clings to the base.

What change chemical or physical does acid rain dissolving paint off a wall fall under?

The dissolution of paint from a wall by acid rain is a chemical change. This occurs because the acidic components of the rain react with the chemicals in the paint, breaking down its molecular structure and altering its composition. As a result, the paint may lose its color and adhesion, demonstrating a permanent change in the material.

Why can't sound travel trough dark matter as we say it is present everywhere?

Sound requires particles to travel through, but dark matter is believed to be non-interacting, meaning it doesn't interact with the particles that carry sound waves. This lack of interaction prevents sound waves from propagating through dark matter.
