When an object falls freely, its potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. When the object hits the ground, its kinetic energy gets converted into heat energy and sound energy.

It decreases.

In this case, as gravitational potential energy decreases, the kinetic energy increases, Joule for Joule.
