In recent years increased attention has been paid to the potential uses of acoustics for extraterrestrial exploration. This paper concerns two aspects which should be taken into account when transposing terrestrial experience with acoustics to smaller worlds. These are, specifically, the effect on the acoustics of the variation of gravity with depth, and the curvature of the world's surface. A case resembling Europa is used quantitatively to illustrate these effects, indicating significant errors if these factors are neglected.
