Here is an interesting demonstration which shows how heat can create sound in a metal pipe! The principle of heat rising is the key to making this particular demonstration a success. A piece of metal mesh is lodged inside each of the pipes, which is what actually creates the sound once the heat begins to rise through the pipe. A good example of how different physical forces can create unexpected results.
