Follow by the Michelson–Morley experiment, What happen if we use something that has a speed lower than light instead of light in Michelson–Morley experiment? How about the result?
The aim of the Michelson–Morley experiment was to measure how fast the aether is moving relative to Earth, and to do this you need some phenomenon that propagates as a disturbance in the aether. Light was the only phenomenon believed (incorrectly of course :-) to propagate as a disturbance in the aether. That's why light was used.
As dmckee says in his comment, if you use something like sound you aren't measuring the speed of the aether because sound propagates as disturbances in air not in the aether. Using sound would measure how fast the air is moving relative to your equipment. This would work fine, though there are easier ways to measure wind speed.
