I may be a little out of my league here, being a junior in high school who has taken AP Chemistry and almost a year of physics, but I have to point out that everything has wave and particle properties, just some more wave than particle and vice versa--I guess that would be de Broglie's equation. Anyways, light's affected by gravity (black holes) so why wouldn't sound be? The only thing is the sound "particles" would have so little mass, that gravity doesn't affect them unless the field is exceptionally strong. Of course, the fact that sound doesn't travel in a vacuum makes me think that the particle nature of sound is so insignificant that it shouldn't even be considered in normal circumstances... Of course, waves bounce the same way particles do, don't they: angle in=angle out.
